The scientific streams component of the MBBS course at the University of Western Sydney is an innovative way to keep students centred in the underlying basic science of the diseases that they are seeing while in hospital rotations. Students access 10 different online modules over the course of three years using the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS), an open-source eLearning platform that is accessed via the students own eLearning platform vUWS (Blackboard).

And now those tools are starting to integrate with the health care system. Doctors, patients, and health care organizations are all starting to use a new generation of online and mobile technologies which are fundamentally changing the way health care works. The Health 2.0 Conference is the leading showcase of cutting-edge technologies in health care, including Online Communities, Search and lightweight Tools for consumers to manage their health and connect to providers online.
