Pandemic Perspectives – What we’ve learned from COVID-19
Hosted by the Alumni Association, in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, the Faculty of Nursing and the Faculty of Public Health.
From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic the U of A’s world-class researchers and scholars have been actively engaged in efforts to limit the spread of the virus, help local and global communities and find a cure. Watch as a panel of U of A experts—from a variety of disciplines—as they discuss the lessons we’ve learned from COVID-19, why the U of A is uniquely equipped to respond to the pandemic, and how our knowledge is helping reimagine systems, structures and policies for a better, healthier future.
Textbooks to Extended Reality: How medical education is transforming the next generation
Hosted by the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry
Forget iPads and SmartBoards; imagine learning how to dissect a body in virtual reality, or projecting molecules on your living room wall from your phone. New extended reality technologies have fundamentally transformed health-care education, which in turn has transformed health-care outcomes. Even in a global pandemic, these technologies have ensured that students continue to receive the best education experiences possible. Join the team from Educational Innovation & Academic Technologies at the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry as they discuss how technologies are creating new opportunities for students, the possibilities for improving patient outcomes, and a few of the constraints around integrating leading edge technologies to train the next generation of healthcare professionals.
