Information technology has the potential to revolutionise the way medicine is learned by students and healthcare professionals. This potential was recognised by the General Medical Council in their 1993 report Tomorrow's doctors in which the need for future generations of doctors to be familiar with the application and scope of information technology is described. This paper focuses on the use of computers as aids to learning medicine and discusses two key applications of information technology to medical education: multimedia and the internet. The current use and potential for these areas of information technology are described and future developments discussed.
信息技术有可能彻底改变学生和医疗保健专业人员学习医学的方式。1993年，英国医学总会（General Medical Council）在其报告《明日之医》（Tomorrow's doctors）中认识到了这种潜力，该报告描述了未来几代医生熟悉信息技术的应用和范围的必要性。本文重点讨论计算机作为医学学习辅助工具的用途，并探讨信息技术在医学教育中的两个关键应用：多媒体和互联网。文中描述了这些信息技术领域的当前应用情况和潜力，并讨论了未来的发展。
