Dr. Hardt has also produced a program on GYN pathology that utilizes a portion of these images. Status - The image collection has been used in our curriculum for the past four years. Dr. Hardt's program has been used for the past two years. Over the past summer a medical student prepared the entire image collection for publication on CD-ROM and the World Wide Web. It consists of five cases covering major topics in geriatrics.
Interactive questions punctuate each case to stimulate student interest.
We make extensive use of hypertext links for definitions, images, and cross references. Status - Student volunteers are currently testing the program for completeness and relevance. We plan to expand the program over time to include basic science and advanced clinical topics. The second is to create a computer-assisted course in musculoskeletal pathology for students, residents, and practicing orthopedists. The third is to prepare the entire project for distribution via interactive videodisc, CD-ROM, the World Wide Web, and traditional textbook.
