Hang on to your lymphocytes -- online medical school

Colleges in 16 Countries Work to Create Virtual Medical School.

Snippet:

• Led by Scotland's University of Dundee, an international group of medical schools is trying to create the world's first online medical school. More than 50 institutions in 16 countries have helped plan the International Virtual Medical School, which its organizers plan to open in the summer of 2004. ...
  
  The virtual school would allow students around the world to pursue a medical education through a combination of computer-based learning and clinical experience in local health facilities. The goal is to counteract the "brain drain" of students from developing countries who, having left to pursue a medical education, often don't return.

 

Am I seeing what I think I am seeing. Are there reps from Brown and the Association of American Medical colleges?


This is major. I wonder what the admissions standards would be like.....

 

Yet more evidence of innovation and leadership from the Master Race, I see. It defies belief that a nation comprising much less than one tenth of one percent of the Planet's human population could produce, John Napier, David Hume, Adam Smith, James Watt, John Paul Jones, Robert Burns, John Muir, Sir Walter Scott, David Livingstone, Andrew Carnegie, James Clerk Maxwell, Alexander Fleming, Alexander Graham Bell, Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, John Buchan, Ian Fleming, Sean Connery, Tony Blair, Dolly the Sheep,

. . . and now this bold distance learning initiative. Never, in the history of the World, has so much been owed by so many to so few.

By KATHERINE S. MANGAN
"The institutions include all five of Scotland's medical schools, at the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and St. Andrews. Initial financing for the project, amounting to $140,000, came from the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council."
