Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 These look very interesting. Haven't had time to look them over yet, but I was wondering if anybody knows if any med schools have put their coursework on-line like MIT has done. You can look at almost any course MIT has on-line in several formats, youtube, realplayer etc. It's amazing. I was looking at the introductory physics course by Prof. Walter Lewin. It's really fun when you can listen to the lectures and just take in what you want and don't have to worry about the math. I wonder if any Med schools with huge endowments behind them would have the guts to put all their stuff on-line like MIT. It seems like there is a trend to go the other way, with the AAFP turning their Practice Management magazine into a paid subscription. Caldwell > >> Someone already has.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Went to me medical school 20 yr reunion last year, and at Temple in Philly, they have all the lectures available on podcast or online, and every student gets a laptap.
