Abstract
Some of the didactic teaching of clinical medicine is now being replaced by self-directed learning, sometimes in the form of computer-assisted learning (CAL). This represents a significant change in the way medical students are taught and has implications for all those involved in medical education. This article reviews the approach of one medical school to the introduction of CAL into the teaching of some aspects of clinical medicine. It emphasizes the importance of the centralization of resources and of a multidisciplinary team approach in the design of CAL packages.
