McGill makes Canada's first attempt to put medical curriculum in computerized format

Abstract

A member of McGill University's Faculty of Medicine wants Canadian medical schools to collaborate to create a central repository for the best teaching materials. Dr. David Fleiszer fears that many individual efforts are being undertaken without an overall plan being in place. For its part, McGill is putting its medical-school curriculum on line over the next 2 years, and is collaborating with industrial partners to develop clinical simulations.
