Distributed medical education, and instruction at regional medical campuses, is becoming more prevalent. With its focus on connecting learners in multiple environments outside of traditional classroom or clinical environments, the role of technology is central to its success. In many distributed medical education settings, videoconferencing plays a central role. Over the course of a three-year ethnographic study, we learned that videoconference technologies are more than the background for learning, but rather play a central role. We describe herein a series of practical tips for those working in the context of a videoconferenced distributed medical education program. Rather than treating videoconferencing technologies as something we can ignore, predict, or control, we hope that the tips help educators at regional medical campuses to think critically about the realities of teaching and learning in a videoconferenced distributed context.

There is a paucity of publications about new regional medical campuses. The authors, members of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and its Group on Regional Medical Campuses (GRMC), offer a historical perspective about the role of Regional Medical Campuses (RMCs), and provide a roadmap to establishing a new RMC, including logistics, resources, curriculum, student services, faculty, affiliations and networking within the community. A checklist designed to support leadership decision-making is also included. The RMC is an efficient model for increasing opportunities for clinical training, accommodating expansion of graduate medical education, and offering a cost-effective solution to train future physicians.

The Impact

The paper deals with economics of social capital which is defined as the capacity of society for collective action in pursuit of common good. Particular attention is paid to the interaction between social capital and formal institutions, and the impact of social capital on government efficiency. Structure of social capital and the dichotomy between its bonding and bridging forms are analyzed. Social capital measurement, its economic payoff, and transmission channels between social capital and economic outcomes are discussed. In the concluding section of the paper we summarize the results of our analysis of the role of social capital in economic conditions and welfare of Russian cities.
