“Last week, a survey of University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin-Madison medical students was published by BMC Medical Education. According to the survey, an overwhelming majority of these students (80%) liked the idea of using video games as a tool to teach them medical techniques and practices. Few should really be surprised by these results. I mean, what college student wouldn’t rather play a video game than read a dry, lengthy textbook to gain medical know-how? However, the authors of the study believe a generational shift in attitude towards video games and technology in general is the reason for the survey outcome.”
