title: Keeping sharp: Internet CE update and experience.
abstract: The Internet as a distance-learning tool is evolving rapidly. Most Internet-based Continuing Education (CE) experiences follow a standard didactic approach as demonstrated by lectures, slide presentations, written journals, videotape, and audiotape; however, some Internet-based educators are exploring the full interactive, problem-solving potential of Internet technology. With support from NIMH we are reviewing the state of the art in Internet-based CE and developing CE courses targeted toward primary care providers that aim to alter clinical skills related to depression treatment.
