A Web Server for Teaching Clinical Students in a Medical School and University Hospital
Résumé
Modern medicine requires rapid access to information including clinical data from medical records, bibliographic databases, knowledge bases and nomenclature databases. This is especially true for University Hospitals and Medical Schools for training as well as for fundamental research and clinical research for diagnosis and therapeutic purpose. This implies the development of local, national and international co-operation which can be enhanced via the use of and access to computer networks such as the Internet. The development of professional co-operative networks goes with the development of the telecommunication and computer networks. Our project is to make these new tools and technologies accessible to the medical students, both during the teaching time in medical school and during the training periods at the University Hospital. We have developed a local area network which communicates between the School of Medicine and the Hospital which takes advantage of the new client-server technology both internally (Intranet) and externally by access to the National Research Network (RENATER in France) connected to the Internet network.
