title: 3D Simulation of a Hospital Environment and Ward Round to Augment a Summer School Program for Pre-Medical Students.
abstract: Students applying to medical school may benefit from a better understanding of the clinical environment and the duties of a doctor. Despite attachments at hospital they may feel detached from the decision making process which is a pivotal part of being a clinician. A simulated hospital environment was tried on 30 pre-med students from an urban environment to test the feasibility of using structured clinical scenarios to augment their experience of a clinical setting.
