| Education and performance technology is employed in different settings. General societal forces affect each context, and those working in a given setting have their own priorities, values, and culture. All of these factors affect the education and training agenda and, consequently, the way technology is used and instruction is created. In this chapter, I review the role of technology in supporting performance and instruction in health care settings, especially as it relates to educating and training physicians and other health professionals. I emphasize medical education particularly, since many trends in medicine carry over to other health science disciplines. Although professional education is stressed, related areas, such as patient and consumer health education, also are addressed. |
