Sarah Gander and special guest Rachel Ouellette break down some of the misconceptions surrounding millennials and how generational differences are challenging long-standing beliefs about education and healthcare. Together, they tackle questions like: Should schools do away with memorization tests when students can just Google things in the real world? Do mobile devices have a role to play in the medical world? Does technology spoil face-to-face patient interactions? All this and more in this episode of the Fac Dev Lounge Podcast!
