Making the Internet a Clinical Resource
A class entitled Making the Internet a Clinical Resource covers both web skills as well as e-mail skills. A box-lunch session entitled Choosing the Right Tools, is a question and answer session intended to aid attendees in the selection of a personal computer and an Internet service provider. Participants were also given a handout of selected web sites which highlights a few sites of interest for the beginner, a bibliography for further reading and a handout which lists things to consider when evaluating the validity of a medical website.
