The metaverse is known as the hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, connected, universal and immersive virtual world that can be accessed via immersive technology devices. One approach to this concept can be achieved through the use of multi-user immersive virtual reality applications. Immersive virtual reality (IVR), which uses…

The paper delves into social media mining in the context of medical education programs in the information age. It explores the adaptability of Social Media Analytics (SMA) apps within the structure of online courses in medicine and proposes a conceptual framework for a learning process. This process includes practical exercises based on search and…

We introduced the AliveCor KardiaMobile electrocardiogram (ECG), a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, iPad-enabled medical device, into the preclerkship curriculum to demonstrate the clinical relevance of cardiac electrophysiology with active learning. An evaluation showed that medical students considered the KardiaMobile ECG active…

The application-based flipped classroom (APP-FC) is an innovative teaching-learning model that has not been applied and assessed in basic medical curricula teaching in China. The aim of this investigation is to assess students' perceptions to the APP-based flipped classroom (APP-FC) teaching model in an immunology course. The data of this study…

Augmented reality (AR), a new generation of technology, has attracted the attention of educators in recent years. In this study, a MagicBook was developed for a neuroanatomy topic by using mobile augmented reality (mAR) technology. This technology integrates virtual learning objects into the real world and allow users to interact with the…

The multidimensional approach to student evaluation at the University of Tennessee and the demand for current accurate reports about the progress of prospective physicians has made computerization of student evaluations mandatory. (Author/PG)

The authors describe one way of organizing and formalizing judgements and values so that the senior medical student can prepare a preference list of internship programs that will provide maximum satisfaction to the student when the computer matching program is employed. (JT)

Describes a system which utilizes computer analysis for rating and weighting resident selection variables to reduce random error and bias in the ranking of applicants. The result was satisfactory selection with significant savings of time and effort for the residency program faculty. (JT)

A technique for simulating the papulosquamous skin diseases, using a computer, has been developed and tested with medical students and dermatologists to determine whether this type of simulation is suitable for training students in dermatological diagnosis. The results indicate that it appears to be feasible for training students in differential…

It is concluded that while behavior of experts in the hospital and clinic is the primary means of evaluating successful student performance, computer simulations of patient cases offer the opportunity to use expert data in the calibration of student error. (Editor)

Since 1969 applicants to the four University of Texas medical schools apply through one center and admission offers come from the individual schools. In 1975 a computer-assisted admission system was successfully implemented by the center to match students with schools, thus reducing the number of multiple admission offers and providing more…

The basic purposes of the Profile Examination for Physician Extenders (PEPE) project included: (1) development of a computerized test item bank from which Profile Examinations could be generated, (2) review and analysis of curricula for the allied health groups, and (3) assessment of the reliability and validity of the Profile Examinations. The…
