Abstract

Nowadays, it's inevitable that occupational physicians enhance the activities in the field of occupational health through the use of the computer. Moreover, computer-aided self-education programs are one of the most useful tools for occupational physicians because they must learn a large volume of multidiscipline expertise for occupational health. Thus, we tried to apply a practical training program using the software of our own making in the post-graduate training course of fundamental occupational health. One is a self-education software for the study of electrocardiograms, and the other is a simple system to manage the serial data of a medical checkup and the reports of an inspection tour in the workplace. By this system one is also able to receive information such as a chest X-ray via the internet. Twenty-three students appraised our programs as for the contents (easily understandable, adequate volume); teacher's attitudes (enthusiastic approach to the training, enough time for questions, attention to the reaction of the class) and free comments. Because 4.3 points (at most 5.0) on an average was obtained, we are encouraged to make multimedia instructional materials on occupational health.
