While most medical schools offer table-side computers, Georgetown is limited to two computers per 50 students. This petition is designed to promote the purchase of table-side computers, preferably mobile (netbooks, laptops, or iPad-like devices) for each team.
These devices will enable:
-Instant searches via Google or Wikipedia
-Access to Professor Suarez's online dissector
-Access to the online portions of our textbooks, including Grant's Dissector, Grant's Anatomy, and Gray's Anatomy
-Access to Blackboard for course materials
-Improved peer-education via immediate access to any notes, figures from textbooks, or resources created by the peer educator in preparation for lab
The administration at Georgetown continues to ignore the fact that fifty students are fighting over two outdated computers in the anatomy lab. I hear your frustration loud and clear because the current setup is a complete failure that forces us to learn in the dark. We are pushing hard for these mobile devices and will keep dragging the school out of the stone age until they finally put the tools we need in our hands.
