Abstract

There is an increasing need for cost control and improved outcomes in both primary and secondary medical education. This chapter reviews the characteristics of medical learners and summarizes shortcomings of traditional medical training that may be amenable to technological intervention. Technologies useful for educating medical students and practicing physicians will be described along with examples pertaining to each technology. The chapter concludes with a summary of potential barriers to the adoption of medical education technology.
