Instructional Technology Projects

These SBC Foundation funded instructional technology projects use electronic image atlases and computer-based clinic simulation to teach students via standard desktop or laptop computers, portable hard-drives, the Internet or a CD/DVD.

Computer-based Microscopy for Medical and Dental Students
This collection of digitized histology and pathology tissue images allows medical and dental students to view the images as a computer-based virtual microscope that simulates actual microscopy and tissue slides by allowing the digitized image to be moved around and magnified up to 40 times normal size.

Computer Simulations of Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office
Every practicing U.S. dentist will face approximately eight potentially life-threatening medical emergencies in their offices every 10 years (i.e., approx. 150,000 in the U.S. every year). These realistic computer simulations will give dentists opportunities to increase their proficiency in the management of the most commonly encountered medical emergencies in a dental office setting.
