Abstract
This study demonstrates that there is significant patient interest in exchanging e-mail with their physician, even in a medical residency program. Resident physicians are still trying to decide whether they are comfortable enough with the Internet to consider patient-physician e-mail a beneficial endeavor. Trials, errors, and time will eventually reveal whether e-mail will be a future staple communication tool for physicians and patients.
