Computer Labs in 3 Ski Resorts

  • One Computer per Student (feel free to bring your own laptop or use ours)

  • Expert Instruction in Small Classes

The Internet and PC have transformed every facet of American society including the professions. From online continuing education to digital imaging, from digital presentations to a virtually limitless universe of information available at the click of a mouse, the scope and power of today's information technology is truly incredible. No practitioner can afford to be left behind.

Dr. Bernard A. Karshmer has developed an exceptional, hands-on opportunity to harness these invaluable tools. In just one course learn to search the Internet more effectively; capture and manipulate digital images; communicate with patients and colleagues via the latest presentation management software; exploit the advantages of Portable Document Files (.pdf); protect your PC and important data; and take a tour of Windows Vista and Office 2007.

While our computer labs are equipped with powerful PCs you’re encouraged to bring your own laptop to class (running Windows XP, 2000, or Vista and able to connect to a 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network). This will give you the ability to take home some great free utilities for searching, photo editing and computer protection. Bring your digital camera to class on “Digital Imagery Day” and we’ll show you how to improve your photos, acquire some spectacular free photo editing software, and use online sources to create prints and enlargements close to your office or home.

Do all this under the guidance of an expert instructor in a WiFi networked PC classroom in Vail or Park City- virtually any week you choose.

Over 7,000 of your colleagues have already participated. Find out why.
