If there’s one area of education that demands a hands-on learning experience it’s the field of medicine. And not just for new students. Doctors in the field need continuous training to stay up to date on the latest advances. Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, it’s road trip time, as we tour the Veterans Administration’s SimLEARN Training Center in central Florida.

We’ll also chat with the Dean of the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine about 21st century medical education; join some med students who spent spring break learning in the inner city…and spend an academic minute with racial diversity nowhere near the city.
