An interactive computer program effectively taught medical students occupational medicine, enhancing their interest through virtual patients and practical case studies. The tool proved user-friendly and highly recommended by students.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Occupational Medicine
  • E-learning

Background:

  • Traditional occupational medicine education may not fully engage medical students.
  • There is a need for innovative teaching methods to highlight clinical and practical aspects of occupational medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an interactive, computer-based learning tool for occupational medicine.
  • To increase medical student interest in occupational medicine by focusing on practical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an HTML and JavaScript-based computer program featuring guided patient case histories and occupational medicine information.
  • Integrated the program into the medical curriculum over two terms.
  • Assessed program effectiveness and acceptability using an 18-item student questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • 287 students participated in the evaluation.
  • Students highly recommended the program's structure and found it easy to use, regardless of prior computer experience.
  • The use of "virtual patients" successfully enhanced student interest in occupational medicine.

Conclusions:

  • The developed program serves as a student-centered learning tool emphasizing clinical and practical occupational medicine.
  • Internet accessibility enables its use as both a self-learning resource and an integrated teaching tool within the medical curriculum.
