Computer managed instruction in a "clinical presentation-based" curriculum.

Abstract

Many institutions are currently in the process of reorganizing their medical curricula from various traditional forms to a problem-based format. This method of instruction inevitably leads to a shift from traditional lecture and laboratory sessions to a more student oriented, small group session--a self-guided learning approach. This paper discusses the development and use of a system designed to provide the student with the necessary tools to access and control their learning environment.
