    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Educational Technology
    • Emergency Medicine Training

    Background:

    • The Massachusetts General Hospital Laboratory of Computer Science developed computer-aided instruction (CAI) programs in 1972.
    • An experimental CAI network, supported by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), was established to provide access to educational programs from multiple institutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utilization and reception of CAI programs among emergency physicians.
    • To assess the feasibility of a distributed CAI network for continuing medical education.

    Main Methods:

    • A trial involving Massachusetts General Hospital's CAI programs was conducted in five community hospitals.
    • Emergency physicians accessed programs via terminals over commercial communication lines, with hospitals covering terminal and telephone costs.

    Main Results:

    • Over 80 institutions participated in the CAI network within the first two years.
    • In the trial, 30% (12 of 40) of emergency physicians completed 10 or more CAI programs.
    • The CAI programs received a favorable overall rating of 1.6 on a scale of 1 (strongly positive) to 5 (strongly negative).

    Conclusions:

    • The study demonstrated the potential of CAI as an effective tool for continuing medical education in emergency medicine.
    • The experimental network successfully provided access to diverse CAI resources to a wide range of institutions.
    • Physician feedback indicated a positive reception of CAI, suggesting its value in enhancing medical training.
