Collaborative Learning in Medical and Health Care Education: Virtual Simulations via Communities of Practice || Alex Parisky, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hawaii, United States, alex.parisky@hawaii.edu || Health care will continue to experience significant growth because of an aging population and longer life expectancies; therefore, demand for doctors and health care workers will equally increase to keep up with current population growth rates. Educators need to teach the next generation of doctors and health care workers, effective web-based communication practices for the sharing of ideas and knowledge in order to meet the challenges by such growth. In addition to implementing simulation technologies to teach curriculum, ranging from anatomy to performing specific medical procedures, internet connected social-learning communities of practice, working towards common medical goals, can be utilized to reap the benefits of discourse and peer collaboration. || General session Forum All ||
