            Computers In Healthcare Education Symposium

                        April 29 & 30, 1993
                     Thomas Jefferson University
                         Philadelphia, PA

The Symposium serves as a national forum and provides numerous
opportunities to share ideas and expertise about the use of
technology in healthcare education.  The HSLC encourages the
sharing of resources among Pennsylvania's Health Sciences
institutions and towards that end is sponsoring the eighth
"Computers in Healthcare Education" Symposium.  The Symposium is
two full days of speakers, workshops and exhibits.

The "Computers in Healthcare Education" Symposium is the only computer
conference designed for and by medical and allied health educators.
We invite you to participate and join in exploring the 1993
Symposium theme --

"Collaborative Computing & Networking for the 90's"

In keeping with the theme of collaboration, we are pleased to announce that
this year's symposium is jointly sponsored by IBM and Apple.  The exhibit
area will also feature many other commercial vendors and a reception on
Thursday evening.

We are pleased to announce that our keynote speakers will be Ed Krol,
Pat Mulholt and Mike Bowman.

Ed Krol is the author of _The Hitchhikers Guide to The Internet_ and
_The Whole Internet: User's Guide and Catalog_.  _The Whole Internet_ is
considered by many to be the most useful Internet handbook available.
Mr. Krol has also consented to host a book signing at the symposium.

Pat Mulholt of Columbia University of Health Sciences will speak on the
creation of an electronic curriculum through the CHIPS project at Columbia.
The CHIPS project networks the curriculums of all the medical, dental and
allied health schools through the central hub of their library.

Mike Bowman of IBM will speak on IBM and Apple joint ventures. In a
true collaboration IBM and Apple have created two joint venture firms,
Taligent and Kaleida.  Mike will explain the goals of these two new firms.

The Symposium program includes a wide range of interesting and
useful activities including keynote speakers, paper presentations,
panel sessions, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops. Speakers have been
invited from all over the United States and the Republic of Panama.

The brochure, registration and hotel information will be mailed in February
1993. If you would like to receive a copy please send your name and
