Internet use, especially for medical education and training in India,
has increased by leaps and bounds over the last five years. In spite of
that, institutional subscriptions for journals are poor due to funding
restrictions.
Free access is helping many medical students and trainees far more
than it is probably appreciated. The approach and awareness of doctors in
training has changed in a better direction, in the light of such quick and
comprehensive access to all the recent developments in the medical world.
From my personal experience, the idea has changed medical education in a
very positive way.
It is too good to get this facility free of cost. It could be a bit better
if many of the other publishing houses (both from the United Kingdom and
United States of America) follow the example set by the BMJ group.
Yours sincerely
