Abstract
Internet-based learning is a growing trend in continuing education for health professionals. We have developed an on-line version of four workshops for practising physicians, tracing a patient's course from the initial diagnosis of dementia to end-of-life care. We have also developed an on-line dementia toolkit that could evolve with changing knowledge. The toolkit consisted of reference material collected from a variety of sources and vetted by our team of experts to address the common complaint that the sources of on-line reference materials are often unauthenticated. The Geriatric Forum provides an array of resources for health professionals.Keywords
