Peace and blessings upon you all
Iam Sleman Alrawashdeh. I'll talk today about a unique and a new experience. My colleagues Mahmoud Amayreh, Mohammad Bani Hani and Hamzel Otoum and me ( All are 4th year medical students) were honored to attend a workshop and a conference about training for medical education via innovative e-technology. This workshop was supervised by a group of local and international professors in collaboration with MediTech. This workshop inluded learning and training about virtual reality and artificial intillegence in medical teaching and medicine in general.
This workshop started from August 1st, 2021 till August 12th, 2021 in two weeks , the first week was in Jordan University @ Aqaba , this workshop was assigned for medical students. Our lecturers were some of experienced professors from many prestigious universities like Masaryk University in Czech. This first week was so special as we learnt how to communicate with people during medical preactice. and how to help patients return to the best of their normal life.
In the second week, the workshop was held in Jordan University in Amman. Motre audience was there in the conference hall. Many Jordanian professors from different medical , engineering and technical specialties were there. The lectures were given by doctors from Iraqi, Irani, Maltese, Czech and German universities. Lectures about virtual reality and how it benifits the clinical teaching and practice especially surgical applications.
We visited many hospitals as part of this workshop like Islamic Hospital- Aqaba and Jordan University Hospital JUH - Amman. We cruised around ICU , CCU and operating rooms in these hospitals to see the progress in technology for the sake of better health care.
The workshop was rich in important infoemation that we need as modern medical students to keep pace with the seen development in many medical apects.This is valuable in the future as these new technologies are invading the medical field in an outstanding way. We have to be aware of these new technologies when we start practice or we'll stay behind the developed world.
In my opinion, I think Virtual reality is one of the important subjects that all medical students has to be aware of. It will be our near future as well as our far future.Even in the present we can see the rise of some applications of VR in the medical field.
I advise my dear colleagues to share in workshops and conferences as an extracurricular activity inside and outside the university. This will enrich our information and build our experience. Another benifit of attending such activities is getting to know professors and great doctors from prestigious international universities that will open new windows for our university students who look for specialization abroad.
