Provision of electronic learning resources by UK medical schools for final year students.

摘要

The widespread availability of the internet and development of online learning technology has seen electronic learning become a key part of medical education. This study examines the current situation in the delivery of e-learning solely to final year medical students by UK medical schools. A total of 25 UK medical schools were surveyed with responses received from 21. Seventy-one percent of respondents provided e-learning to final year students (15/21). Requirements for this form of educational delivery are likely to increase but further analysis of their use is required.
