The impact of residents' training in Electronic Medical Record (EMR) use on their competence: report of a pragmatic trial.

Objectives: Even though Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are increasingly used in healthcare organizations there is surprisingly little theoretical work or educational programs in this field. This study is aimed at comparing two training programs for doctor-patient-computer communication (DPCC).

Methods: 36 Family Medicine Residents (FMRs) participated in this study.
