Medical Physics is a relatively small community but it spans great geological distances,  usually with a scarcity of experts whose expertise could greatly benefit students entering into the field.  In addition there are many software systems for which an interactive education method would be most advantageous. 

In addition to training,  the constantly evolving field of Medical Physics with its many emerging advanced techniques and technologies require constant continuing education as well as consultation with experts

Many continuing education courses and workshops are constantly being offered,  including many web-based study courses and virtual libraries.  However,  one mode of education and communication that has not been widely used is the real-time interactive process.  Web-based conferencing systems do exist,  but these usually require a substantial amount of effort and cost to set up. 

It is then the objective of this project to develop a simple-to-use, widely-accessible, and cost-effective method to allow real-time interactive education and consultation,  using the ever-expanding capacity of the World Wide Web.
