MedLab
Advancing Education in Medicine
This unique iPad-based interactive experience leads classroom students through an authentic medical science simulation. Guided by a virtual supervising doctor, students assume the role of medical interns. Using innovative touchscreen activities, the student examines a patient, reviews symptoms and family history, conducts tests, makes a diagnosis, and selects a treatment course.
Teachers can also customize the classroom experience to include their own opportunities for enriching discussion and reflection.
MedLab provides an insider's view of the medical process.
