Description
Summary:Shortage of medical personnel and the existence of inexperienced ones, are frequently the causes of false diagnosis, and call for a reflection on the methods of training of the later. One of the solutions might be the application of new technologies in the training of medical students, in order to counter the shortage of experts as well as training conditions which are usually inadequate (no patients available for practice). The aim of this paper is to propose a virtual patient, on which an expert can formulate pathology, and hand this patient to a learner for exercises on medical diagnostics.
