Abstract

Background given the diversity of virtual patient simulation systems, this study provides a comparison of two different tools, in the perspective of deploying them for supporting initial and continuing medical education in Sub-Saharan Africa. Method the evaluation was based on existing documentation, analysis of the data models, usage of implemented of virtual patient cases, and interviews with the domain experts. Results despite some shared similarities in their contents, there are many differences between the two applications especially in respect to their pedagogic models, technical architecture, types of interactions, feedback, and the learner's performance evaluations. Discussion and conclusion the implementation of learning activity based on virtual patient in a given context should consider these differences. According to their respective approaches, this study suggests that MVP is more suitable for novice learners whereas VIPS is more suitable for experienced learners.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
