>> By this year 2020,
medical knowledge is
doubling every 73 days.
Every moment we spend with
them has to be high value.
We have to really be training
master learners, not
master memorizers.
>> When we had the opportunity
to build this new facility,
it really gave us an opportunity
to rethink medical education.
>> We wanted to build a technology
platform in a building that
would support potentially decades
of innovation in the future.
>> When you have active learning
and you're engaging their mind,
we know that they don't have
to study as much later.
So anything that you can do to make
that material easier to grasp,
I think is really important.
>> But it was critical
that we knew we were using
technological tools that were
perfect fits to that
pedagogic theory,
that educational theory, and
that led naturally to Microsoft.
>> Our initial designing
this building was actually
very traditional.
We had monitors on the
walls around classrooms.
We moved away from that,
we pulled the technology
into the room,
and used Surface Hub 2S to
really build a platform that could
move throughout the building.
Hubs can be used in
a conference room,
they could go up to
a director's office,
or they could stay there and support
the learning in that's space.
>> The building has been
designed in terms of
space with lots of
small group learning,
technology infused within
those to allow for
collaborating around Hubs
and whiteboards, etc.
Exactly as we envisioned.
>> The Surface Hub
is intended for you
to interact with and so the layout of
a room is completely different to
encourage adoption
of that technology.
>> We have an
experiential learning web
on the third floor of the building.
Where the walls can actually
be moved around and
you can construct
whatever space you need.
>> Trying to make things
more engaged, more active.
>> Technology creates behavior,
and space enables behavior.
So bringing those two
things together to really
help focus on adoption
of technologies.
>> That students be able to join into
a classroom experience no
matter where they are and
we selected Microsoft Teams for that.
>> You can be in multiple small
group sessions simultaneously.
You can be in your lab and
teach your small group.
It expands and leverages
our faculty in a way that
makes it much more efficient.
>> Vision for teams really is to
deliberately allow more synchronous
and asynchronous learning.
>> Embedded into our DNA is
this concept of continuous
quality improvement.
Understanding how the
human brain works,
and understanding how we learn
more efficiently and effectively.
Again, leveraging technology.
>> Being innovative is really
about how do you simplify?
Delegate to the computer
world what should be
delegated to the
computer world and then,
what happens is then the
human beings have the time,
space, energy to be
doing the things that human
beings are really good at.
