Interactive Simulated Patient (ISP-VL)
Project Background
A Stanford-Karolinska Project on Simulation-based Learning
In a simulated encounter with a patient, the student practices the taking of a patient's clinical history, completes a physical examination, orders laboratory and imaging tests, and selects a diagnosis through a process of hypothesis development and refinement. Through the use of video, the simulation attempts to enhance realism, thus engaging the student's emotions, with the goal of attaining a higher degree of involvement and knowledge retention than in text-based learning.
Development and analysis of different virtual collaborative techniques and tools can support the acquisition of not only theoretical knowledge, but also of "soft" knowledge, known to be important in professional life. Examples of this include problem solving capacity and interpersonal communication skills.
This project is intended for collaborative student activity, with small groups of students working on the same case both in Sweden and California.
