The use of virtual patients to teach medical students history taking and communication skills

TL;DR: Despite current technological limitations, virtual clinical scenarios could provide students a controllable, secure, and safe learning environment with the opportunity for extensive repetitive practice with feedback without consequence to a real or SP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of path visualizations and cognitive measures relative to travel technique in a virtual environment

TL;DR: The results suggest that, for applications where problem solving and evaluation of information is important or where opportunity to train is minimal, then having a large tracked space so that the participant can walk around the virtual environment provides benefits over common virtual travel techniques.

Association for Surgical Education Do medical students respond empathetically to a virtual patient

Journal ArticleDOI

Do medical students respond empathetically to a virtual patient

TL;DR: While the authors will never duplicate a real physician/patient interaction, virtual clinical scenarios could augment existing SP programs by providing a controllable, secure, and safe learning environment with the opportunity for repetitive practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparing Interpersonal Interactions with a Virtual Human to Those with a Real Human

TL;DR: Key insights are provided into the construction and evaluation of interpersonal simulators that enable interpersonal interaction with virtual humans and some subjective measures of participant behavior yielded contradictory results, highlighting the need for objective, physically-based measures in future studies.
