Online learning initiative reinventing medical school - Brian Tobin, Stanford University

Andrew Patterson, MD, associate professor of anesthesia, is convinced that the only way forward in medical education is what he calls a revolutionary path. No more of the old way — professors lecture, students listen. Instead, the time for online learning for medical students has arrived, said Patterson, and a core group of Stanford medical professors, education technology specialists and collaborators from the Khan Academy who are working toward that future. http://med.stanford.edu/ism/2012/october/online-1008.html
