News & Announcement

Please visit PPC Support at WSU School of Medicine web site to get update events and news.

New Version of CampusMobility Encounters Application

Students in Class of 2006 and Class of 2007, who are using a version of CampusMobility Encounters installed before June 2005, must download the new version and do so by Friday, Oct. 7.

If you have synched cases between July 1 and today using the old version, your cases will not show up in the Clerkship Director's report and you'll receive a communication stating such. In most instances, your cases can be retrieved from the CampusMobility server, and a separate report can be sent to your Clerkship director, but only until the end of the week.

All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release, that contains several new features and bug fixes. You may follow the directions below to download and begin using the new application yourself, or contact a support person listed below for phone or onsite help.

Please remember the Œold version (installed before June 2005) will no longer work beginning Oct. 8, and that you may see those cases in the "Old Logbook" (see the directions below) found on the CampusMobility site on the PDA.

In an attempt to keep the student body informed regarding the use of PPCs in their medical education, this site will be updated and monitored on a regular basis by faculty and student "powerusers". We are encouraging robust discussion board entries where you may find student to student advice in addition to the school's support network already in place. It is in your best interest to check this site frequently and do not hesitate to contact the appropriate support areas with meaningful suggestions.

  • Login to Blackboard
  • Select the "Course List" tab at the top of the window Select "Medicine" in the Course Catalog on the right side of your screen. Look for the "PPC Support at WSU School of Medicine" course site. Select the "ENROLL" button on the RIGHT SIDE of your screen
