Emergency Medical Curriculum Website
| STG lead(s): | Elli Mylonas |
The Emergency Medicine faculty at Brown University uses the Web extensively, and wanted to put its curriculum and other instructional material that is standard for all US medical schools online, so that emergency medicine residents and program directors would all have access to it. Since this material is often modified, the system would have to be easily updated. At the time that this project was carried out, most websites did not have extensive cgi facilities, or online databases. So STG developed a set of scripts that would generate the website's static pages from material submitted in a standard form. The technical work on the website was carried out by Eric Perkins and Da Woon Jung.
After the website was completed, the project leads asked STG to create a standalone CD-ROM that duplicated the material on the website. This part of the project was begun by Julian Richards and completed by David Reville.
In 2002, CORD, the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine, realized that the content of the website had become outdated, and asked us to take it offline. CORD is developing a new version which they will host on their own site.
