The Use of Mobile Devices to Enhance Engagement and Integration with Curricular Content.

This perspective describes the processes, pilot designs, and deployment strategies that the Yale School of Medicine (YSM) employed when integrating iPads into the undergraduate pre-clinical medical curriculum. We also explore the multiplier effect this technology inspired in expanding the program into our clerkship curriculum with the iPad Mini and how integrating mobile technology into our existing E-systems afforded us opportunities to enter the e-book and augmented reality technology spaces. Our hope is that this perspective provides a framework that may guide other institutions researching their own technological innovations.
