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 in the virtual
hospital to help students 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.
