Further, patients are already accessing the Internet to find information and will expect you to have the same level of access. Global access to information is changing the way we will learn and communicate, and is likely to change the practice of medicine. Consequently, a number of computer aided educational resources have been developed exclusively for student use. This Handbook will describe some of the resources accessible at Penn. However, this is by no means complete.
Information technology moves rapidly.
By the time you read this, there will be other projects and resources in the works, and some described herein may have been modified. We welcome suggestion about how to improve the programs we have designed, and about future projects. The Divisions of Academic Information Systems and Information Services are resources you may use to help with problems or concerns, or to develop your own career in medical informatics.
