title: The virtual course: delivery of live and recorded continuing medical education material over the Internet.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our objective was to deliver live and recorded lectures from a continuing medical education course, including the representations of original slides, over the Internet, using streaming audio media.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The streaming audio media, an emerging technology, not only delivers large lectures over the Internet using commercially available PCs and modems, but also allows review at any time by individuals with access to the Web. An interactive conference of continuing medical education curriculum can thus be delivered and continuing medical education credit earned without leaving home.
