Academic Medicine, v66 n4 p232-34 Apr 1991

As part of planning for implementation of computer-administered medical board examinations, a telephone survey of 143 accredited medical schools in the United States and Canada found that most have at least 1 computer for every 20 students, though nearly one-third of the schools make very few microcomputers available. Computer types used varied, with many being obsolescent. (MSE)
