Description
Virtual Clinical Excursions Pacific View Regional Hospital is a groundbreaking workbook/CD-ROM package that brings learning to life
in a "virtual" hospital setting. This guided learning experience features textbook reading assignments that correspond with the CD-ROM
and workbook activities. The workbook acts as a map, guiding students through the virtual hospital as they care for patients, helping
them make connections between what they experience through the CD-ROM and what they've learned in their textbook. Each virtual hospital
visit allows the student to access realistic information resources essential to patient care, resulting in a true-to-life, hands-on learning
experience.
