Computer-Based Education

The practice of medicine implies an aptitude for decision-making based on continuously updated knowledge. The extent of that knowledge can only increase. The goal of medical education is to prepare tomorrow’s physicians by providing them with the knowledge required to practice medicine. It must also help students master the technologies necessary to manage and process medical information. These technologies are involved in the processes of building, communicating, and validating knowledge. Computer-based education (CBE) can be used by itself or as a complement to traditional methods. The large number of tools available represent situations that educators have identified and developed to assist in the learning process. Pedagogical materials related to a session must be structured and put in a form that can be used by educational software.
