Australian Journal of Rural Health, v10 n3 p137-46 Jun 2002
As part of a study examining continuing medical education, computer usage was investigated among medical practitioners in rural and remote Queensland (Australia). Surveys of 131 rural doctors showed that they used computers more than their urban counterparts and more than previously estimated. A majority of respondents considered Internet delivery of continuing education and other services very important. (TD)
