title: Audiotapes in continuing medical education.
abstract: The "ideal" tool for the physician, especially the one practicing in a rural area far removed from medical teaching centers, would be a learning instrument he or she could utilize anywhere, anytime. This paper traces the genesis and growth of a teaching tool that is now utilized worldwide because it comes close to that ideal of being useful in multitudinous locations where time is otherwise wasted, principally during automobile commuting.
