The tutoring process of conventional case-oriented medical training systems can be characterised as either guided or unguided. In contrast to that, the aim of the system "Docs'n Drugs" is to distinguish between different levels of guidance. The author can realise the tutoring case as a guided, a half guided or an unguided tutoring process. The system architecture distinguishes between an authoring system and a tutoring system. Fundaments of these are the tutoring process model and the case data model. This structure allows the reuse of elements of existing tutoring cases. The tutoring cases can be realised in different languages, e.g. German and English.
Self-directed learning takes multiple forms, all of which allow a person to study at an individual pace and direction. By applying principles of adult learning and various other styles of learning, self-directed learning can be used as an alternative method of education. The focus of this article is one type of self-directed learning, self-learning packets. The step-by-step process of designing a self-learning packet is covered. Various methods of topic selection and the key components of self-learning packet design are included. Finally, the usefulness of alternative methods of education such as self-learning packets is examined by cost analysis.

A programmable calculator procedure for the determination of dosage regimens and steady-state peak and trough levels of aminoglycoside antibiotics is described. The calculator is programmed based on a one-compartment open model and first-order elimination of aminoglycosides. A detailed description of the programs and user instructions are presented. The programs allow calculation of intermittent i.v. infusion dosage regimens and steady-state levels, and adjustment of dosage and dosing interval when measured plasma levels differ significantly from predicted levels. The calculator programs provide a rapid means of predicting and modifying dosage regimens and steady-state plasma levels for aminoglycoside antibiotics.
A programmable calculator procedure for the determination of individualized phenytoin dosage regimens is described. The calculator is programmed based on a one-compartment, open model using the Michaelis-Menten equation. A detailed description of the programs and user instructions are presented. The programs allow calculation of oral dosage regimens and steady-state phenytoin levels. The first two programs require a given dose and one corresponding steady-state minimum concentration point to estimate a dosage regimen and steady-state serum level. The second two programs, which provide a more accurate prediction of dosage regimen and steady-state serum levels, require two dose and steady-state minimum concentration poits. The calculator programs provide a rapid and reliable means of estimating a patient's phenytoin dosage regimens and steady-state serum levels.
