Medical information processing: an interactive course for the Internet.
Medical students in Germany have to study the basics of medical information processing within a special curriculum which is part of the ecological course. This curriculum offers an introduction to principles of medical informatics. Starting with a conventional textbook, a computer-based training (CBT) program has been developed using the technologies of the internet and the World Wide Web (WWW). Features of the program include a well structured presentation of the information within the software and a high degree of interactivity. Early experiences suggest that this program enhances the learning in the domain of medical information processing.
