REMOTE INFORMATION ACCESS FOR RURAL MEDICAL EDUCATION

说明(改编自摘要)： 我们的目标是为南加州大学学院的学生、教职员工提供 农村初级卫生保健校外培训和工作的医生(SOM) 为以下人员提供相同的学习和数据资源访问权限 都在校园里。这些资源包括互联网、图书馆数据库、 医疗保健信息、课堂讲稿、计算机模拟和 说明、继续医学教育、电子邮件、文件附件和文件 传输协议。为此，我们将把偏远的农村初级卫生保健联系起来 以SOM为中心的S计算机局域网(局域网)打造广域 网络，连接位于同一农村的医学生宿舍 社区连接到SOM？S网络，并将未提供服务的医学生区连接到 棕榈树里奇兰纪念医院到SOM？S兰。链接将是 通过在服务器和之间创建虚拟专用网络(VPN)来实现 每个远程站点的一台PC和SOM？S局域网，使用模拟电话线和 本地互联网服务提供商。软件将配置在专用的 在局域网服务器和远程PC上创建VPN连接。有了那些 已建立联系的远程学生和教职员工可以使用SOM 图书馆和计算机资源，就像他们在校园里一样。 将对远程用户进行身份验证，并将通过VPN传输的所有数据 进行加密，以防止他人窃取和未经授权使用信息。

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.
