  ABSTRACT: The rapid development of information communication technology blazed a trail in our learning, work, and lives. This study was conducted to ascertain the computer and internet literacy level of medical faculties’ students. 171 first-year medical students from 4 different medical colleges of the University of Jordan participated in the study. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data and the data analysis was done by using SPSS, Version 17. The results indicated that most medical students have average 5 or advance knowledge on the basic use of computer and internet. Google was found to be the most commonly used search engine. Also the study found that ICT (Information and Communication Technology) can be a useful tool in medical education but the lack of time, internet connectivity and resources is still a serious constraint.
