“I believe digital technology will let us bring a more impactful and relevant clinical learning experience to our students,” said Ralph V. Clayman, MD, the school’s dean of medicine, in a news release. “Our use of Google Glass is in keeping with our pioneering efforts to enhance student education with digital technologies — such as our iPad-based iMedEd Initiative, point-of-care ultrasound training and medical simulation. Enabling our students to become adept at a variety of digital technologies fits perfectly into the ongoing evolution of healthcare into a more personalized, participatory, home-based and digitally driven endeavor.”
