ResumoThe Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University has reinvented the laboratory experience for the Medical Gross Anatomy & Embryology course. With cutting-edge iPad technology at every dissection table, medical students are empowered to have high-yield learning experiences. The central hub of information, armed with educational Apps, has optimized time efficiency by lessening time spent flipping through books to more time spent dissecting. Students are also given early opportunities to present clinical cases in the lab, which improves peer-peer performance and heightens team-based learning. Student feedback has indicated that this technology gives them added ownership in their education and improves the dissection experience. Similar enthusiasm is seen in other disciplines that use our facility: Physical Therapy and Nursing Anesthesia. Cell & Tissue Biology and Clinical Neuroscience have also implemented this tool in their teaching labs. The College of Medicine strongly believes the integration of this technology into the curriculum furthers the University's goal of strengthening the student-learning environment and overall professional development.
