The MED-Pie team has published a number of papers, opinion letters and presentations on the methodology, problems and effect of distance learning in medicine. Most of the publications concern distance learning in vascular surgery, as most of the MED-Pie team members are vascular surgeons or vascular trainees. Nevertheless, our findings are no less valid in other medical specialties and we invite you to read them and send us your thoughts.
