In addition, a University Hospital that would be built adjacent to the WCMC-Q building is under consideration. Distance Learning Supplement WCMC-Q curriculum with videostreaming of lectures and seminars. Post-lecture interactive conferences with WCMC faculty in New York. The information technology required to support the educational programs of the new medical school in Doha is unique in its demands and expectations. The principal reason for having hard-wired, desktop computers in the classrooms is to facilitate the learning process.
Medical education depends on the use of images and graphic resources of considerable complexity.
These must be displayed on larger monitors than laptops permit, usually in conjunction with text and other graphic materials. This process will be greatly facilitated by outfitting the school with a wireless network accessible from anywhere in the medical college building. This facility will house classrooms, auditoriums, teaching and research laboratories, faculty offices, administrative space, and support space. The classrooms and teaching laboratories will be structured in the form of a Pre-Clinical Education Center fully equipped with the latest technology to facilitate teaching, research, distance learning, and videoconferencing. It will include a Digital Library.
