Abstract:
:Continued improvements in computer technology have led to significant enhancement of clinical teaching. We describe a "digital toolbox" consisting of personally accessible hardware and software products to assist in clinical teaching. The areas covered are computer-assisted diagnosis, digitization and display of clinical materials, archiving of digitized clinical materials, and decision analysis. All products are commercially available, and none require special training or customization for medical teaching application.
