I like the idea of using technology to enhance the current healthcare education experience (N = 200)* | 195 (98) | 92 (99) | 103 (96) | 5 (3) | 1 (1) | 4 (4) | NS** |
I think that education should make better use of new media technologies(N = 208)* | 198 (96) | 95 (100) | 103 (99) | 10 (5) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | NS |

If multiplayer online healthcare simulation helped to accomplish a goal that was important to me, I would use it even if I had to do that with my own time(N = 200)* | 154 (77) | 77 (83) | 77 (72) | 46 (24) | 16 (17) | 30 (28) | NS |
