IVMS RESEARCH PROJECT
About Imhotep Virtual Medical School (IVMS)
The
explosion of new digital learning technologies, the exponential growth
of Internet usage and the advent of the World Wide Web are changing the
face of medical education. There are also demands in medical education
for greater globalization, for the development of common core curriculum
standards, for improving access to training, for more flexible and
student-centred training programs including programs with
multi-professional elements and for maintaining quality while increasing
student numbers and working within financial constraints. Hence enters
Imhotep Virtual Medical School (IVMS), a high-quality education program
embodying a hybrid model of a blended curriculum of innovative
e-learning approaches and the best of traditional face-to-face teaching,
as one response to these challenges.
An undergraduate medical education research project exploring:
Ø Innovative
thinking and approaches to the new learning technologies including Web
2.0 tools, e-learning repositories and virtual reality;
Ø New
approaches to curriculum planning and mapping and advanced
instructional design based on the use of 'reusable learning objects';
Ø A
culturally competent curriculum with an international perspective on
medical education which takes into account the trend to globalization;
Ø A flexible curriculum which meets the needs of different students and has the potential of increasing access to medicine,particularly for United States racial/ethnic minorities and the poor.
