Dear All,
Greetings from Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates in the middle east.
With my involvement in EBM teaching here I have developed a keen interest in
Internet and health. Probably you may agree with me that EBM and internet
are closely linked as the WWW helps health care providers to access
literature in a timely fashion from a desk top in the surgery(UK) or in the
office(US) be it Cochrane, Bandolier or clinical guidelines.
Recently I presented a two part seminar to our medical students on
"accessing literature through the WWW" and on "using Internet effectively to
learn basic and clinical sciences". For the later we developed a Web page so
that students can learn in an interactive way.
I presented the seminar in the medical school computer cluster and the
students logged on to the WWW page built for this purpose and visited the
various links from there.
I thought some of you may be interested in the Super search engine (one of
our links)from the Stanford University, USA Which will search the internet
(only for medical & health information) using up to 4 search engines and
will display the results on a single page. The students found the whole
seminar, especially the super search engine quite useful. The URL of our
list site is
http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/pakistan/360/page1.htm
(the URL is a bit strange bacause this site is being hosted free for us by a
US server and they have given us this address and we had no option, though
we wanted to call it as Webteacher).
If some of you do visit the site I will very much appreciate your valuable
feed back.
Cheers and continue to have a good weekend.
