Virtually trained dentists leave some open-mouthed
Those of a nervous disposition may want to look away: dentists are learning how to replace missing teeth by correspondence course. They, like doctors and veterinarians, are among a growing band of hands-on professionals around the world obtaining distance-learning qualifications from Britains universities.
Distance-learning courses from the universities of London and Edinburgh are teaching diverse skills, from the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases to administering anaesthetics. From next year, doctors will learn surgical sciences at the University of Edinburgh by practising on online three-dimensional virtual patients. Students can kill their virtual patients over and over again, said Jake Broadhurst, e-learning business development manager at Edinburgh. Sometimes they do it deliberately, just to make sure they arrive at the correct diagnosis.
