Transforming continuing education materials for on-line learning

Internet-based learning is a growing trend in continuing education for heal th professionals. We have developed an on-line version of four workshops fo r practising physicians, tracing a patient's course from the initial diagno sis of dementia to end-of-life care. We have also developed an on-line deme ntia toolkit that could evolve with changing knowledge. The toolkit consist ed 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 pro vides an array of resources for health professionals.
