ABSTRACT:

 

In this demo we will bring the most recent "Virtual Practicum" Programs to your attention. In these programs, a variety of learning experiences promote the comprehensive understanding of complex clinical topics. Interactive simulated patients, case discussions, and interviews with real patients and lectures are brought together under the guidance of mentors who are expert clinicians and teachers.  This is all done with the intense use of multimedia, especially movies and animations. The core of the program consists of several simulated patients with whom the learner has several encounters. It's not only about gathering information to reach the correct diagnosis, it's also about understanding the patient's specific situations and deciding what and how information is best given to them.

 

"Genetics in Clinical Practice: A Team Approach" received the 2002 EMMA Award for eLearning 18+
