What is an Electronic Virtual Patient?
“an interactive computer simulation of real-life clinical scenarios for the purpose of medical training, education, or assessment”
• Clinical reasoning
• Learn from mistakes
• Expensive and time consuming to produce
Repurpose and enrich existing VPs as an effective way to share

PGM & PM
• A total of 19 VPs were repurposed and enriched• Repurposing workflows outlining best practice were created• Evaluation of pilot VPs by students, teaching staff, and VPcreators were conducted, analysed and documented
eViP
UMWorkflow
Identify ‘paediatric VPs’ delivered in HDSTART
Lars
FINISH
Select VPs from HD not yet
available in UM
Review selected HD VPs by
experts at UM
Discuss suitability of German VPs for Dutch curriculum and identify
missing content to enrich
Adapt Virtual Learning
Environment to fit the VP
Customise VP player user-
interface (e.g. from HD to UM)
Select VP and translate (German to Dutch culture)
Check language with native speaker
Repurpose and enrich VP for local
culture and educational scenario
Test and GO-LIVE
Repurposing to different cultures,for multilingual use,
to different educational levels,to different educational scenarios,
for different subject-disciplines and to different VP structures
