title: Using the internet to coordinate a teaching programme in accident and emergency medicine.
abstract: The internet permits inexpensive and rapid communication of multiple forms of information across geographical boundaries. The authors describe the development of an internet based mailing list and web site to coordinate the regionwide accident and emergency specialist registrar teaching programme. The process entailed in setting up these resources is explained. The initial experiences of implementing these technologies and the resulting advantages are discussed.
