In order to characterize use of the Internet in medical geriatrics education programs, 130 medical education programs in the U.S. that train medical students, interns, residents, fellows and practicing physicians were asked to complete a survey developed by the Consortium of E-Learning in Geriatrics Instruction (CELGI). Sixty-eight programs (52.3%) returned surveys. Fifty-four (79%) of those responding reported using the Internet specifically for geriatric medical education, and 38 (56%) reported they are developing Internet materials. Twentythree undergraduate, 31 graduate, and 26 continuing medical education programs reported at least 25% of their curriculum was Internet-based. Users and developers of medical geriatric Internet materials had more full-time faculty and nonclinical faculty. The results of our survey indicate that the Internet is being widely used in medical geriatric education.
为了描述互联网在老年医学教育项目中的使用情况，美国130个培训医学生、实习生、住院医师、研究员和执业医师的医学教育项目被要求完成一份由老年医学电子学习联盟（CELGI）制定的调查问卷。68个项目（52.3%）回复了调查问卷。其中54个（79%）回复者报告专门使用互联网进行老年医学教育，38个（56%）报告他们正在开发互联网材料。23个本科、31个研究生和26个继续医学教育项目报告其课程至少25%基于互联网。老年医学互联网材料的使用者和开发者拥有更多的全职教员和非临床教员。我们的调查结果表明，互联网正在老年医学教育中得到广泛应用。
