In 2008, I launched the world’s first university elective course focusing on internet and medicine for medical, dentistry and pharmacy students. Now the 4th semester is just over and I thought I would share the material again. Over 130 students, 10 weeks, 20 slideshows. I tried to cover all the important topics in this area.
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 1: Web 2.0 in Medicine
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 2: Medical blogging
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 3: RSS and Microblogging
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 4: Wikipedia and Medical Wikis
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 5: E-patients and Medical Communities
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 6: Virtual Reality in Medicine
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 7: Social Media in Healthcare
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 8: New Media in Medicine and Education 2.0
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 9: Google Story and Medical Search Engines
- 2010 Spring Semester Week 10: Web 3.0, Web 4.0
What I’m most proud of in this semester is that E-Patient Dave sent a personal video message to my students about being an e-patient and what kind of doctors they should become.
Students filled a questionnaire before and after the course and I plan to publish the results in an open access journal during the summer.
See you this September in the next semester with new materials, Prezi.com slideshows and more.
