Medical Informatics for Faculty Development

    The purpose of this project is to introduce physicians and other health professionals and learners 1) to the many uses of the Internet and 2) to computer skills that will support the academic side of medicine and medical education.  All modules for electronic mail, newsgroups and the web are based upon versions of the Netscape tool package. Modules that address academic medicine computer skills are based upon common computer productivity tools such as Microsoft Word.

    The information presented here provides a solid base of competency for the user.  Each module provides a tutorial for a single basic or advanced skill.

This site is best viewed using the Netscape Navigator/Adobe Acrobat reader combination.
