A distance-learning service for the medical professions in Europe

The European Medical Network (EMN) was formed to create a distance-learning service for the medical professions in Europe; at its core is a menu-driven digital satellite broadcast combined with an Internet Service. A pilot project was launched in order to assess and verify the acceptance of the proposed service by the target groups, its operational feasibility throughout the entire value chain, and the financial feasibility of all separate steps as pro rata business plan budgets.
