[Electronic learning: interactive learning in medicine or Socrates in electronic guise].

E-learning has been widely used for training in different fields. More recently, it was introduced during medical studies or for continuous medical education. The Canadian Universities are pioneers in e-learning creating special departments dedicated to pedagogy. Developing countries like Brazil or Central Europe have made some pilot experiments, which were successful. Several electronic companies have given a free access to the programmes and sites. The use of electronic media leads to an adaptation of teaching methods making them more interactive.
