Abstract
Method : Information technology was introduced within the undergraduate psychiatry course. An e-learning programme was developed in conjunction with the Health Informatics Department in UCD. Feedback from the students was collected about the course and the site developed.
Results: All responders had used the provided e-learning facility. Quality and interactivity were rated positively. Further development of the project was encouraged.
Conclusion: Inclusion of information technology in medical education is viewed positively by students and if pedagogically developed may provide a model for continuous medical education.
Key words: Medical education, information technology, computer assisted learning, psychiatry, e-learning, life-long learning.
