在过去的几年里，通信和信息技术（C&IT）飞速发展，全球网络渗透到日常生活中，对教育产生了重要的影响。大多数医学院为学生提供广泛的计算机网络，这些网络正日益成为学习和教学环境的核心组成部分。这些进步给医学教育带来了新的机遇和挑战，并对我们的教学方式和学生的学习方式以及课程的设计和交付产生了影响。网络上的信息太多了，学生和教职员工都需要学习如何有效地管理这些信息。医学院必须制定明确的战略来解决这些技术带来的问题。我们描述了医学院如何应对这一挑战，探讨了利用通信和信息技术改善学习和教学环境的一些方法，并讨论了未来发展对医学教育的潜在影响。
The past few years have seen rapid advances in communication and information technology (C&IT), and the pervasion of the worldwide web into everyday life has important implications for education. Most medical schools provide extensive computer networks for their students, and these are increasingly becoming a central component of the learning and teaching environment. Such advances bring new opportunities and challenges to medical education, and are having an impact on the way that we teach and on the way that students learn, and on the very design and delivery of the curriculum. The plethora of information available on the web is overwhelming, and both students and staff need to be taught how to manage it effectively. Medical schools must develop clear strategies to address the Issues raised by these technologies. We describe how medical schools are rising to this challenge, look at some of the ways in which communication and information technology can be used to enhance the learning and teaching environment, and discuss the potential impact of future developments on medical education.
