Virtual patient computer programs offer a solution to limited real-world patient access in medical education. The CAMPUS system simplifies case authoring and was found useful by medical students.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Technology
  • Digital Health Solutions

Background:

  • Limited availability of real patients for medical training poses challenges.
  • Practical and ethical issues restrict patient exposure for all learners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a flexible and realistic system (CAMPUS) for virtual patient case presentations.
  • To support medical case authors with authoring tools and vocabularies.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the CAMPUS system with a focus on author support.
  • Implementation of varied case presentation methods tailored to user level and scenario.
  • Evaluation of the system's utility among medical students during an internship.

Main Results:

  • The CAMPUS system was developed to facilitate virtual patient case creation.

  • Program evaluations indicated that medical students found the system useful.
  • Different case presentation types were integrated based on user and scenario.

    • Conclusions:

    • Virtual patient simulation systems like CAMPUS can address limitations in clinical training.
    • Further research is needed to explore self-study potential and integration into problem-based learning curricula.
