Gaming

Since this is the fun page I thought I would contribute something a bit off focus. I stumbled across a medical students blog where he posted several online games that help with practicing/learning surgery virtually. Take a look. * Simulated Open Heart Surgery: Be a Surgeon! http://scienceroll.com/2007/10/22/simulated-open-heart-surgery-be-a-surgeon/ * D.N.A. Flash Game for Scientific Geekshttp://scienceroll.com/2007/11/21/dna-flash-game-for-scientific-geeks/ * Virtual Hip Replacement: Be a Surgeon!http://scienceroll.com/2007/11/29/virtual-hip-replacement-be-a-surgeon/ Do you find this valuable? |

These are very interesting applications. I don't think gaming has been explored much in terms of graduate education. I'd be curious if medical students actually find these valuable.
Do you find this valuable?
