Journal ArticleDOI

Amy Stevens,Jonathan Hernandez,Kyle Johnsen,Robert F. Dickerson,Andrew Raij,Cyrus Harrison,Meredith DiPietro,Bryan Allen,Richard E. Ferdig,Sebastian Foti,Jonathan Jackson,Min C. Shin,Juan C. Cendan,Robert T. Watson,Margaret Duerson,Benjamin Lok,Marc S. Cohen,Peggy J. Wagner,D. Scott Lind +18 more
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
Adeline M. Deladisma,Marc S. Cohen,Amy Stevens,Peggy J. Wagner,Benjamin Lok,Thomas Bernard,Christopher Oxendine,Lori Schumacher,Kyle Johnsen,Robert F. Dickerson,Andrew Raij,Rebecca Wells,Margaret Duerson,J. Garrett Harper,D. Scott Lind +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Likert-type scale with anchored descriptors to evaluate nonverbal communication skills and empathetic behaviors between a virtual patient and a real patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do medical students respond empathetically to a virtual patient
Adeline M. Deladisma,Marc S. Cohen,Amy Stevens,Peggy J. Wagner,Benjamin Lok,Thomas Bernard,Christopher Oxendine,Lori Schumacher,Kyle Johnsen,Robert F. Dickerson,Andrew Raij,Rebecca Wells,Margaret Duerson,J. Garrett Harper,D. Scott Lind +14 more
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
Andrew Raij,Kyle Johnsen,Robert F. Dickerson,Benjamin Lok,Marc S. Cohen,Margaret Duerson,Rebecca Pauly,Amy Stevens,Peggy J. Wagner,D. Scott Lind +9 more
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.
