Today satellite television is readily available to may hospitals, where it can prove an efficient means of delivering continuing medical education (CME)--particularly in rural areas. Since there is little research in CME on the effectiveness of videoconferencing, this paper was written to describe a case study focusing on that issue. An interactive videoconference on breast cancer was presented to health care professionals in their community hospital settings. Results of a test given before and after the broadcast indicated a 21 percent increase in knowledge among participants.
