This course will consist of 14 lecture-hours that focus on information and communication technologies (ICT) that are being developed and used in medical education and clinical practice today. Various technologies ranging from computer aided instruction (CAI), simulations, and networked applications at one end to electronic medical records (EMR), telemedicine, and robotic surgery at the other end will be described. The process of research, development, and evaluation in the designing and making of these applications and tools will be detailed. Writing assignments, creative thinking, and interactive discussions will form an integral part of this course.
