Abstract:

The AAMC Rolling Delphi Study is gathering opinions and developing consensus about the ways information technology and the Internet will change medical education, research, health care and information management in the next 10 years. More than 270 deans, medical educators, scientists, and information/IT specialists participated in Phase 1 of the study.

Results of the Phase 1 study are on the web at http://www.aamc.org/better_health/phase1.htm. Phase 2 is now underway. In this hands-on session, you can complete Rounds 2 and 3 of the current study. In Round 2, score 63 statements in terms of desirability and probability. Then, add as many additional statements as you want. In Round 3, compare your scores to the mean of all participants, and score new statements added by other Slice of Life attendees.

 

Benefit in Attending Session:

Participating in the AAMC Delphi Study is a great way to make certain that your ideas and recommendations are part of better_health@here.now, AAMC's information technology futures initiative. The Delphi study gives you a chance to see what others think about information technology in health professions education. Sharing your  technological sophistication helps create a more promising  (and interesting) future.
