What do medical students think about virtual patients?

admin — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 20:18:24 +0000

Virtual patients are electronic resources that can play a vital role in teaching medicine and other healthcare professions. They can often be used in situations where learning with a real patient is rare/tough, for regular practice and understnding of certain procedures, or aiding theory. They have been used widely in the US but few medical schools in the UK are using them to their full potential.

In this video we hear from Maren Ebert, a medical student from Heidelberg University, Germany. She talks about her experiences using eViP Virtual Patients.

Have you used a virual patient before and what did you think of it?

Virtual patients have been used widely in the US but few medical schools in the UK are using them to their full potential.

The organisatoin EVIP has been created to bring together a bank of virtual patients for medical students. This will hopefully be open access for all to learn from. An exciting proposition!

In this interview, Dr David Davies from the University of Warwick, UK, talks to Dr James Bateman about the role of virtual patients, and the challenges of incorporating them into the medical curriculum.
