Top 5 Medical Advancements.

Who says technology only sabotages people? Technology can be used in many fields including the medical field. The top 5 advancements in the medical field are enlisted below- 1.CRISPR : Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats(CRISPR) is the most advanced gene-editing technology.

This actually helps the medical students to gain the experience they need and get to k
