The Department has a PDP 11/70 running part-time under MUMPS-11 V4B, and since 1978 has had a PDP 11/60. A set of medical education programs has been developed consisting of: (a) A simple introduction to MUMPS. (b) A patient-census module. (c) A neonatal module. (d) A dental data-base. In this paper the educational programs are outlined and examples of their use are given.
