Digital futures in McGill’s health sciences education with visiting scholar Dr. Jörg Goldhahn
Digital technology’s role in health sciences education was at the forefront of discussion last week as McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine welcomed Dr. Jörg Goldhahn from Zurich, Switzerland.
"Today, medicine is rightly accused of treating too often diseases, but not people. There will be a counter-movement here"
Tomorrow's medicine will be much more dependent on technology, say Zurich University Rector Michael Hengartner and ETH Vice President Ulrich Weidmann. How the universities want to react to this and what tasks doctors will take on in the future.

The ETH Bachelor in Medicine supplements the usual medical training with further technical and scientific aspects. Nevertheless, the degree programme allows for later specialist training in all fields of human medicine.
