Harvard Medical School (HMS) is one of the world’s preeminent institutions in medical education and research. The breadth and depth of its scientific and clinical disciplines are unsurpassed. HMS third- and fourth-year medical students are highly mobile, moving between the hospital, library, classroom and home. To make the best use of their time at each location, these students need an innovative set of tools. Associate Dean of Harvard Medical School, Dr. John Halamka, envisioned an affordable, flexible and easy to maintain mobile technology solution that would not only improve communication between mobile groups of students and faculty, but also serve as a learning tool to facilitate better medical education. Using iAnywhere’s M-Business Anywhere, HMS and its third party integrator, Arcstream solutions deployed MyCourses’, a rich array of applications containing class schedules, hospital case log notes, lecture notes, animated anatomy illustrations, course evaluations, exam calendars and last-minute announcements from administration.
