Abstract	Contemporary medical education faces new challenges as the climate of the health care delivery system transforms. Diminished length-of-stay and continuity-of-care have radically altered the way medical students are exposed to and learn about illness. These educational challenges are particularly pronounced in the teaching of surgery. We developed a multimedia application, surgical interactive multimedia modules (SIMM), to utilize rich media objects and high-resolution video to overcome modern didactic challenges. The SIMM client was created using Macromedia Director MX and communicates using XML with an Oracle database containing the rich-media educational objects. The SIMMs integrate digital video, 3-D models, self-assessment tools, and current medical evidence to generate a dynamic learning environment encompassing core surgery topics. Students can access SIMM modules either via a high-speed network connection or by using a DVD. The interface was designed to focus on a narrative timeline that provided students with a familiar metaphor for interacting with the learning objects. Students on the surgery clerkship are currently using four SIMM modules and feedback indicates that they are regarded as compelling and useful educational tools for learning about complex surgical topics. Future areas of research will address student ability to annotate the learning objects and to maintain a personal repository of medical education resources.
