Basic information

The national MEFANET 2007 conference is focused on the progress in ICT-based education of medical disciplines. The main objective of this event is to establish a new platform to incite teachers and students share their experience on modern ICT teaching tools. The main topics include e-learning, telemedicine and modern information technologies in the education of medical disciplines. Reports on teachers' experience are particularly welcome, as teachers are not only primary users of these electronic tools, but also authors of specific educational works, and often even developers of technology and software solutions. An interdisciplinary programme has been proposed for this first year of conference MEFANET: apart from reports on clinical disciplines, contributions of ICT professionals and data analysts are also anticipated. The conference will provide enough space for a students' section, where original students' work can be presented, and discussions can be led on students' experience with the application of various solutions in practice. The most valuable students' contributions will be awarded. The conference programme is flexible: apart from standard sections and presentations, discussion panels can be initiated, focused on possible problematic issues.
