title: A web and handheld based diagnosis & procedure tracking system.
abstract: Personal computing devices such as personal organizers, handheld PC's, and tablet PC's are becoming common tools in clinical care and medical education. There is an increasing need for these devices to track various tasks students and medical trainees perform. In particular, in undergraduate medical education, there is a need for tracking the depth and breadth of each student's clinical encounters over the course of his or her education. The authors have developed an application which allows for easy and rapid deployment of a tracking system for medical students' experiences during their clinical training years.
