  • Health Sciences Online: Eight+ Revolutions and Ten+ Brief Analyses Erica Frank*
    The Open Medical Education Journal, 2008, 1, 1-4 1 Open Access Health Sciences Online: Eight+ Revolutions and Ten+ Brief Analyses Erica Frank* University of British Columbia, 5804 Fairview Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z3, Canada Abstract: Objective: There are many outstanding computer-based resources for medical education, but good materials are difficult to find in the flood of mediocre and questionably-sourced resources, and many good materials are currently password- protected. This article introduces a potential solution to many of these problems: Health Sciences Online (www.hso.info). Method: A qualitative description of a new learning tool, and the societal changes it could precipitate. Results: HSO is the only health sciences website with comprehensive, free, high-quality, ad-free, and current courses, ref- erences, and other resources. HSO already includes >50,000 such resources, but it is not just a huge, screened online li- brary. We outline eight potential revolutionary areas for HSO: health sciences education, disease surveillance, public health ethics, integrity, needs assessments, telemedicine, local professional opportunities, and funding. HSO also responds to the World Health Organization's March 2008 "10 Facts on Health Workforce Crisis," and we briefly analyze these facts and HSO's responses in our concluding analysis section. Conclusion: HSO has the potential to revolutionize health sciences knowledge, as well as multiple other areas in medi- cine, public health, and other health professions. The problem: there are many outstanding computer- and universities such as Columbia, Cornell, Emory, Harvard, based resources for health sciences education, but good ma- Johns Hopkins, MIT, the University of British Columbia, terials are difficult to find in the flood of mediocre and ques- and thousands of others.
