REMOTE INFORMATION ACCESS FOR RURAL MEDICAL EDUCATION

描述（改编自摘要）： 我们的目标是为南加州大学的学生，教师和工作人员提供 在农村初级卫生保健校外培训和工作的医学（SOM） 将学习和数据资源的相同访问权集中到那些 都在校园里这些资源包括互联网、图书馆数据库、 医疗和保健信息，课堂讲稿，计算机模拟和 指导，继续医学教育，电子邮件，文件附件和文件 传输协议。为此，我们将把偏远农村的初级卫生保健 中心到SOM？的局域计算机网络（LAN）， 网络，链接那些位于同一个农村的医学生宿舍 社区到SOM？的局域网，并连接未服务的医学生地区， 棕榈里奇兰纪念医院到SOM？s LAN。链接将是 通过在服务器和 每个远程站点都有一台PC和SOM？使用模拟电话线的局域网， 本地互联网服务提供商。软件将配置在专用 LAN服务器和远程PCS上创建VPN连接。与 建立连接后，远程的学生和教师可以使用SOM 图书馆和计算机资源，就像他们在校园里一样。 远程用户将经过身份验证，通过VPN传输的所有数据将 加密以防止信息被盗和他人未经授权使用。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the Abstract): Our goal is to provide students, faculty and staff of the USC School of Medicine (SOM) who train and work off-campus in rural primary health care centers the same access to learning and data resources available to those who are on campus. Those resources include the Internet, library databases, medical and health care information, lecture notes, computer simulations and instruction, continuing medical education, E-mail, file attachments and file transfer protocol. To do this we will link remote rural primary health care centers to the SOM?s local area computer network (LAN) creating a wide area network, link medical student dormitories located in those same rural communities to the SOM?s LAN, and link unserved medical student areas at Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital to the SOM?s LAN. Linking will be accomplished by creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) between a server and a PC at each remote site and the SOM?s LAN using analog telephone lines and local Internet Service Providers. Software will be configured on dedicated LAN servers and on remote PCS to create VPN connections. With those connections established, remotely located students and faculty can use SOM library and computer resources much like they would when they are on-campus. Remote users will be authenticated and all data transmitted over the VPN will be encrypted to discourage information theft and unauthorized use by others.
