E-learning: how important it is for medical schools?

Technological and social drifts taking place in recent years are influencing the ways of presenting and transferring knowledge from one generation to the other.

That causes an increasing pressure on doctors to remain at the vanguard of medical education throughout their career

The frequent use of technology, specifically internet-based tools, unlocks the doors for cooperation among both students and teachers.
