UC Irvine Using Google Glass To Teach Medicine

UCI-Google-Glass

The UC Irvine School of Medicine is integrating Google Glass into its four-year curriculum – from first- and second-year anatomy courses and clinical skills training to third- and fourth-year hospital rotations.  The effort will start this month – as the academic year begins for third- and fourth-year students – with ten pairs of Glass. An additional 20 to 30 pairs of Google Glass will be acquired and deployed in August, when first- and second-year students begin course work.
