Boost For Successful Interactive Medical Education
Funding Boost For Successful Interactive Medical Education
An interactive medical education computer programme for patients, doctors and students has been given a major boost following an additional $400,000 grant to the University of Otago’s Christchurch School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Associate Professor Murray Barclay and Professor Evan Begg from the Department of Clinical Pharmacology have received the grant to further develop interactive graphics learning tools for medical education, which will also help patients to better understand their conditions. Being web-based, the software will also allow distance learning world-wide, including from home.
