Technology Innovation in Medical Education

To facilitate the introduction of technology within the medical student curriculum, the Wake Forest University School of Medicine at the Bowman Gray Campus developed a strategic plan to provide ubiquitous computing throughout the medical school. Adherence to plan's standards in hardware, operating systems, application software, and networks created an effective operational environment, minimized training requirements, and produced a low total cost of ownership. The integration of technology into the medical school's curriculum has increased the ability to access information, thus enhancing the educational experience.
