Medical Informatics Home Page

The World Wide Web (WWW) is the fastest growing part of the Internet. Our College has just begun to explore the use this exciting new medium for teaching, research, patient care, and administration. In cooperation with Information Services, our office has become a leading WWW resource for faculty and staff. The Medical Informatics Home Page has become a popular WWW site offering instructional materials, scholarly discourse, and WWW publishing tools.

Over the next year we anticipate a large number of projects including: electronic texts and syllabi; on-line directories and calendars; paperless distribution of committee documents for review and comment; and CD-ROM publication of WWW documents. The Home Page is available at:

Personal Digital Assistants

Our students have begun to use small, hand held computers called personal digital assistants for patient management and reference. Dr. Rathe is currently assisting them with the development and acquisition of effective software for use during their third year clerkships. The Home Page for the student lead Newton Users Group is available at:
