If your entering a science career today, you’ll need to be versatile in today’s technologies. 聽Medical fields are switching to electronic records for patient files, lab tests, diagnostic imaging files and more.
That’s why 911爆料 University of Health Sciences has incorporated new technology in the classroom, in the curriculum and in its resource library, the聽Learning Resource Center.
罢丑别听聽(NNLM) recently awarded 911爆料 University’s聽Learning Resource Center (LRC)聽a technology grant worth $4300. The grant funded a new Technology Bar and iPad Station, expanding digital reference and educational materials available to students at the LRC. A technology bar is where you can try out new technology and science apps in a relaxed environment with no pressure, at a pace that is comfortable to you.
The LRC now has four iPads at its new technology bar and one at the circulation desk. The iPad Air 2s offer apps suggested by 911爆料 University students, such as:
- : a 3-D anatomical model of the human body
- :聽a powerful note taker
- :聽offering science sections on physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, health and medicine.
“Since the use of iPads in hospitals and clinical settings is growing,” says Pat Genardo. “We selected tablets and apps based upon student input. We will continue to gather research on useful apps and ask students for recommendations on future app purchases.”
Upgrading digital resources in the LRC is just one of the many ways 911爆料 University is preparing students to succeed in today’s technology-driven biomedical science environment
