  • Utilized six virtual patient cases and compared diagnostic accuracy between the second and sixth cases.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvement in correct diagnoses (P < 0.05) and reduction in incomplete diagnoses (P < 0.05).
    • Overall learning success showed a significant increase from the second case (53.9%) to the sixth case (62.3%) (P < 0.05).
    • Students reported high enjoyment of the surgical seminar and preferred blended learning (score 2.5) over conventional teaching (score 2.1).

    Conclusions:

    • The blended learning approach with the Inmedea Simulator was well-received by medical students.
    • This method resulted in significant improvements in learning success for surgical education.
    • Blended learning is a valuable tool to supplement traditional surgical teaching methods.
