Internet-2-based Tele/Videoconferencing for Distance Medical Education: The EduMed.Net Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
The delivery of distance medical education content and interaction has received a powerful boost by the advent of broadband global networking. Its revolutionary potential is very large for health sciences education, particularly for Continued Medical Education (CME). On the other hand, medical schools and hospitals are still living in the world of narrowband Internet. This has been delaying the impact of advanced information technologies on the new educational paradigms in the health field. The aim of this project is to establish in Brazil a distance education network in medicine and health sciences (the EduMed.Net Project), which will be based on access of medical schools and major teaching hospitals to a high speed backbone comprised by fiber optic and broadband digital satellite. The target within five years is to reach 90% of Brazil's 200+ medical and nursing schools and 500+ teaching hospitals. The network is governed by a National Consortium.
