Gwmaw writes"A reported 98 percent of medical students surveyed at the University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin-Madison liked the idea of using technology to enhance their medical education, according to a study published online in BMC Medical Education. For example, a virtual environment could help medical students learn how to interview a patient or run a patient clinic. In the survey, 80 percent of students said computer games can have an educational value."

I posted about this in our blog as well (http://blog.medstudentlearning.com/2010/08/video-games-help-medical-students.html). I find the integration of virtual environments to be a good training ground for medical students preparing for their USMLE Step 2 CS®.
