To look at how mobile technology can be integrated into modern-day medicine, St. Mary’s Health Care System purchased iPads and loaned them to third-year medical clerkship students from the Georgia Health Sciences University/University of Georgia Medical Partnership (GHSU/UGA) campus and are collaborating with the University of Georgia’s College of Education on a yearlong study to see how iPads can be used in medical settings on a daily basis, reports a front page story in the November 20 Athens Banner-Herald.

Michelle Nuss is the campus associate dean for graduate medical education at GHSU/UGA and is the principal investigator on a team created to study how faculty and students use the iPads.

Nuss’ fellow investigators are Janette R. Hill, UGA College of Education; Bruce Middendorf, chief medical officer, St. Mary’s Health Care System; Ronald Cervero, UGA College of Education; and Julie K. Gaines, GHSU/UGA librarian.
