- April 29 & 30, 1993
- Thomas Jefferson University
- Philadelphia, PA
-
- The Symposium serves as a national forum and provides numerous
- opportunities to share ideas and expertise about the use of
- technology in healthcare education. The HSLC encourages the
- sharing of resources among Pennsylvania's Health Sciences
- institutions and towards that end is sponsoring the eighth
- "Computers in Healthcare Education" Symposium. The Symposium is
- two full days of speakers, workshops and exhibits.
-
- The "Computers in Healthcare Education" Symposium is the only computer
- conference designed for and by medical and allied health educators.
- We invite you to participate and join in exploring the 1993
- Symposium theme --

- "Collaborative Computing & Networking for the 90's"

- In keeping with the theme of collaboration, we are pleased to announce that
- this year's symposium is jointly sponsored by IBM and Apple. The exhibit
- area will also feature many other commercial vendors and a reception on
- Thursday evening.

- Pat Mulholt and Mike Bowman.
-
- Ed Krol is the author of _The Hitchhikers Guide to The Internet_ and
- _The Whole Internet: User's Guide and Catalog_. _The Whole Internet_ is
- considered by many to be the most useful Internet handbook available.
- Mr. Krol has also consented to host a book signing at the symposium.
-
- Pat Mulholt of Columbia University of Health Sciences will speak on the
- creation of an electronic curriculum through the CHIPS project at Columbia.
- The CHIPS project networks the curriculums of all the medical, dental and
