An iGen approach to teaching medical students.
Medical school class sizes are set to increase, yet resources are not. The use of Internet based supplemental education modules and standardized patients (SP) is one answer to this imbalance. We have prototyped and assessed Internet modules and an SP on the topic of substance abuse. Effectiveness is supported by a small pilot study. A larger study is in process during 2008.
