Virtual Patients as a Didactic Strategy


An article published in the september edition of  Academic Medicine propose a role for virtual patients (VPs), which they define as multimedia, screen based interactive patient scenarios. They believe VPs offer capabilities and benefits particularly well suited to addressing the challenges facing medical education. Well-designed, interactive VP-based learning activities can promote the deep learning that is  needed to handle the rapid growth in medical knowledge. Clinically oriented learning from VPs can capture intrinsic motivation and promote mastery learning, and can enhance trainees’application of foundational knowledge to promote the development of clinical reasoning, the foundation of medical practice.
