    Journal: Ter Arkh; 2003; 75(10):87-90. PubMed ID: 14669616.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To elaborate an innovating computer learning system allowing experienced doctors to share their knowledge with beginning physicians; to apply a computer expert system in teaching interns to detect pulmonary artery thromboembolism (PAT) with emphasis on PAT risk factors and symptoms, on fixation of diagnostic skills. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The latest achievements in the field of artificial intellect served the basis for design of OSTELA educational computer system which operates with decisive rules of a highly skilled cardiologist. In this system interns study PAT diagnosis without a direct contact of the teacher with a learner. The computer system and its operation are described. RESULTS: Skills of PAT diagnosis were taught to 48 interns. The number of correct answers to the control test increased by 30%, on the average. CONCLUSION: The proposed computer learning system OSTELA was successfully tried in clinics (pilot trials) and is recommended for postgraduate education of physicians.
