Research Conducted by the Virtual Hospital Staff
Via the Electric Differential Multimedia Laboratory

University of Iowa College of Medicine

Purpose

The Electric Differential Multimedia Lab was formed in 1991 and has four goals:

1. To assess current needs for electronic learning tools in health care
2. To develop and evaluate electronic learning tools in academic and community settings
3. To disseminate electronic learning tools internationally via computer networks
4. To increase the frequency and intensity of interdepartmental and interdisciplinary collaboration in medical education and medical informatics
