ABSTRACT
Medicine is a field that requires very extensive education to reach and maintain an
acceptable level of functional competence. Often it is necessary for busy people to
teach other busy people. Medical lectures may become tedious and repetitive for those
who give them as well as an intrusion into their patient care and research time. Students
may find it difficult to be in the right place at the right time to take advantage
of important lecture material due to their own complex schedules. To work well, education
requires a careful match of the student and the educational process. Computer-aided
instruction offers some solutions to these and other problems of medical education.
