Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Digital Learning Technologies

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) traditionally uses case studies.
  • Integrating multimedia, such as videos and virtual patients, is an emerging trend in PBL.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To scope the existing literature on the use of videos and interactive virtual patients in PBL.
  • To identify the reported benefits and challenges associated with these digital tools.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review of relevant literature was conducted.
  • The review synthesized findings on the application and outcomes of videos and virtual patients in PBL.

Main Results:

  • Videos and virtual patients may improve students' preparedness for challenging clinical encounters.
  • These tools can increase the authenticity and memorability of medical cases.
  • Evidence regarding gains in knowledge acquisition and critical thinking skills is inconsistent.

Conclusions:

  • Multimedia tools like videos and virtual patients offer potential benefits for medical education.
  • Further research is needed to clarify their impact on specific learning outcomes.
  • These findings can guide the integration of technology in future PBL curricula.
