Dissemination & Educational Media

  The CATCHUM Project proposed to implement various learning activities and to expand the potential for cross-sharing of instructional materials and learning resources to a medical student generation for whom computers and the Internet are as familiar as radio and TV for older generations. With that in mind, the CATCHUM Project considers the Internet as a tool for dissemination of critical elements of its work. In August 1995, planning and development began for the CATCHUM Homepage. The original design included eight components - the index page, guest book, the CATCHUM monograph, steering committee information, staff information, an events calendar, the Standardized Assessment Examinations in three versions, and a cancer links page. This configuration was pilot tested by the end of September, 1995.
