Abstract
Since August 1977 a slow-scan video system has been operating in a remote area of northwestern Ontario, Canada. This system, using regular dial-up telephone lines, interconnects the local hospital, five remote communities, and two teaching hospitals in Toronto, 1,000 miles distant. Since August 1978 the system has been used on a regular basis for continuing medical education programs, graduate medical education including X-ray rounds, medical rounds, nursing rounds, in-service education, and patient education. These CME programs for physicians have been accepted for study credits by the College of Family Physicians of Canada.
