Abstract

Residents in family medicine often have difficulty of gathering to have a conference when they are sent to different hospitals according to training programs. From 2001, for resident conference of family medicine in pohang hospital and gyeongju hospital, dongguk university medical center, an Internet-based video conference system was used for video conferences. The Internet-based video conferences for the members who work at difference hospitals had the same effects as they gather at one place. In addition, the participants could lower the burden of preparing the presentation, listen to the presentation lively, and have a discussion with questions and answers immediately, enhancing the efficiency of conferences. They also could have a sense of affinity as they talk face to face. We reported this case as the application cases and effects of Internet-based video conferences.
