COMPUTER-BASED PROBLEM SOLVING EXERCISES
A series of physiological models are available forcardiovascular physiology ("McMan"), respirology("McPuff"), renal physiology ("McPee), and pharmacology("McDope").
The student is presented with basic clinical data about his"patient" and may ask for further clinical or investigativeinformation. He then proceeds to administer various formsof treatment and receives feedback about the
physiological and clinical effects of his manipulations.

So, if that isnt the way
that VPs developed (in 2005)
Why didnt they develop that way?
Why did we need them?
and-
What did we get from them?
-

6/40
why did we need them...
Short stays in hospital
Increasing specialisation
Increasing pressure on clinical time
Reduced teaching time
Trend towards standardisation in
competency training

To create a shared online bank of 320 VPs,adapted for multicultural, multilingual use:
for the improved quality and efficiency of
healthcare education across the EU

What DID we get from them?
Provided greater exposure to different scenarios
Practise of correct clinical decisions
Provided safe practice and feedback
Allowed rehearsal
Provided a good self-directed learning tool
Provided a trigger for basic and clinical sciencelearning

What is a virtual patient (VP)?
An interactive computer simulation of real-lifeclinical scenarios for the purpose of medical
training, education, or assessment

What are (electronic) VPs best for?
Students will always like VPs-
Excellent for remote/mobile access,
learning when, where you like
Attractive, image rich
And above all, core subjects for their profession
But given the choice,
- they prefer a book!
So what can we do,
- that cant be done - with a book?

So..how do we find uses for VPs that are NOT
just page-turners?
They should do things that paper cannot do?!
- Assessment Virtual Patients
- Decision-making Virtual Patients (?)
- True Virtual Patients?

Example of a VP for assessment
Introduction: Six week old male infant with projectile vomiting
1. What is your initial diagnosis?
-> Hypertrophic Pylorusstenosis
2. Which initial laboratory tests besides electrolytes, glucose and full blood
count would you order?
-> Blood gas analysis
3. By means of which technical examination do you verify your initial
diagnosis?
-> Sonography abdomen

Online-exam study using
Key-feature-VPs
Key-Feature-approach (Bordage & Page 1995) forassessment of clinical decision making of
undergraduate students:
Solution of the problem of content-related
knowledge
VPs focused on main clinical decision nodes
and common errors
Automatic analysis of resultsLong menu answer format (Schuwirth 1996)

What can VPs provide for decision-making?
What effective learning requires, ideally, is: Doing Failing!
Reasoninggenerating explanations for failure, then Trying again! Well-told stories Just-in-time instruction And then:
the VP would be doing for medical students
what flight simulators do for trainee pilots

Student FEEDBACK
Decision-Making
The biggest benefit I believe is the decision making.
;We tried hard and we still killed the patient! I will never, ever, forget
that!
Its not the decisions, its the consequences!
More than once we deliberately went down the 'wrong' track to see
what happened. Very useful to do this on a virtual patient
Paper
Not having a paper copy of the tutorial makes everyone in the group
look at the screen rather than at each other.. I think probably, as a year, we are just used to having paper!
I was dreading this as I am used to scribbling all over the notes as we
talkActually I found this OK.

Why do we need VPs? (1 of 2)
Provide students with an opportunity to
develop and practice their clinical reasoning
and decision making skills
Provide students with an opportunity to
learn by making mistakes
I just killed
the patient!
(..the poorer the choice the
student takes, the richer the
learning experience..)

A new programme
To change the existing PBL curriculum, to create
a more interactive, personalised model of course
delivery with virtual patients at its core
To be delivered in the Transitional year between
campus-based learning and clinical attachments,
as Clinical PBL

G1 Subject- or discipline-based
G2 - System-based
G3 - Case based, but linear
G4 Interactive with options, consequences

So, where next?
options are all very well- but I would like to see infinite options,
not a few preset choices!M.Fischer, eViP project meeting , Munich 2008
I would like to do a PhD in simulation, but I would also like to do a
PhD in VPs! Is there any way that VPs can run simulations.?Eleni Dalfi mEducator kick off meeting , Thessaloniki, May 2009
Why are virtual patients not Virtual Patients you know, people you
can see, who move around.. in your computer. (!)
Daffyd Walters, Head of Paediatrics, St Georges
Its good greater realism would be even better!St Georges student

Conclusion?
Will virtual patients come full circle and return to the
ambitious aims of the algorithmic VPs physiological
simulations - of the 60s?
(i.e. can Eleni Dalfi REALLY do a PHD combining VPs
and simulations??)
Will VPs really become as useful as flight simulators?
