> Wow......what an exchange!!!! I too teach grad and post- grad medical interns, residents, and research fellows. May I weigh in with Ms. Seefer's attempt to learn a bit from those with experience and knowledge in the particular matter. What matters it if learning takes place in classroom, laboratory, on-line or on the high seas? Of course the type of experience will differ. One does not become able to handle a ship from a book any more that a surgeon can become competent in a classroom. But...receiving useful and correct information should not depend on the formality of the environment where achieved. And my personal view is the morality lectures are quite inappropriate!
