Abstract	This paper presents the results of some research that was intended to evaluate the use of videoconferencing as a teaching and learning tool in the context of doctoral training in medicine at a Canadian university hospital center. The evaluation was conducted by identifying the factors that influence the training of students, their satisfaction with videoconferencing and their perceived effectiveness of the technology as a learning and teaching tool. An appropriate questionnaire was developed and administered to students taking a videoconferencing-based course for the first time. The results show a consistent difference of opinion and attitude between local-site students and remote-site students in relation to several aspects of the technology--such as the social interactions between instructor and students, and the perceived effectiveness of videoconferencing. Initially, this difference was attributed to the physical absence of the instructor and the use of videoconferencing as such. However, students' satisfaction seems to be linked to other factors as well--such as the instructors ability to integrate the technology into his or her teaching method.
