Students at William Tennent High School in Upper Southampton, Pennsylvania, are participating in a educational simulation that utilizes video conferencing solutions to let students step into the shoes of medical researchers and doctors. Using video conferencing technology, the students are given a medical problem they must solve, and are then asked to present their theories to a medical professional located in another state.
The simulation is part of the students' anatomy and physiology class, and the technology connects juniors and seniors with an educator at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia. According to the Philly Burbs, each student in the program is assigned one of the following roles: case manager, medical and surgical specialist, diagnostic specialist and clerical specialist.
Through these roles, students must determine diagnoses and present them via video conferencing. Once a diagnosis is approved, the team must work together to develop a treatment of care order, the source reported.
Elsewhere in Pennsylvania, graduate students at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business are using video conferencing technology to conduct admissions interviews without being present at the meeting. Not only does using video conferencing solutions reduce travel time and expenses, but it allows the admissions office to make sure all interviews are run in a uniform fashion, the Wall Street Journal's FINS reported.
