Hey doc, is that your stethoscope?: Increasing engagement in medical education and training with iPads
Coovert S., Ducey A., Grichanik M., Coovert M., Nelson R.  CSCW 2012 (Proceedings of the ACM 2012 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work Companion, Seattle, WA, Feb 11-15, 2012)71-74.2012.Type:Proceedings
Date Reviewed: Jun 26 2012

Medical students perceive three areas of use for an iPad: education-centered use, such as organizing information; professional-centered use, such as meeting administrative requirements; and patient-centered use, such as patient education. The data for this paper was obtained through verbal reports from an entire class of residents being trained in pediatrics. The paper, actually an “interactive poster,” is intended as an early report of a multiyear data-driven study. The data obtained can be used to learn which apps students find helpful. The text is readable and the partition into the three uses seems fruitful.
