iMedEd Initiative 2.0 - 2019 Edition

The iMedEd Initiative was launched in 2010 with the vision that a “digitally based curriculum will be the wave of the future” and that UC Irvine will be a “leader in the innovative presentation of information to students.” Ten classes of medical students later, digitally based curriculum are now “the norm” in medical education and UC Irvine is not just a leader in “innovative presentation of information”, but in innovative education itself.

 

iMedEd began as a 1:1 program that has equipped over a thousand medical students, staff, and faculty with an iPad since its inception. More profound, is that iMedEd has evolved from focusing just on the devices and the content, to broadly influencing the philosophy and culture of who we are as a medical school and what we value as educators.
