Compact disk educational supplements for biomaterials and biomedical education

One new way to cost-effectively distribute educational materials is through the use of CD-ROM supplements. The authors proposed that the creation of a CD-ROM in biomaterials would be useful to two target audiences. One audience includes clinicians who can benefit from a second, more scientific approach to clinical uses of biomaterials. The second group includes scientists and engineers who are involved in device development yet may not have a strong understanding of the clinical environment. This manuscript outlines the authors´ approach in creating the CD-ROM. The metrics to analyse the effectiveness of the CD-ROM are not complete
