Abstract
Expert systems are potentially valuable tools in teaching medical decision making. Their potential in this field was identified early in the history of the technology (Clancey & Letsinger 1981). In areas where decisions depend on visual clues, the addition of a store of illustrative video sequences greatly enhances the educational potential of an expert system. A system is described which combines an expert system on surgical management of lumps in the head and neck, with a videodisc containing patient examinations, and illustrative animations. The current system is aimed at students in their first year of clinical studies. Further developments required to make the system useful to more advanced students are identified.
