"Welcome the eViP website! This site is dedicated to bringing you information about the eViP programme, a collaboration between nine universities and MedBiquitous Europe. eViP aims to create a bank of 320 repurposed and enriched virtual patients. These virtual patients will be available under a Creative Commons Licence. All virtual patients are repurposed using MedBiquitous Virtual Patient Technical Standards."

"Demo of the Virtual Patient Android Application showcasing the Virtual People Factory developed from Virtual Experiences Research Group, Univ. of Florida. This android application is a 4 minute Demo Version."

"Teaching hospitals the world over face increasing difficulties in sourcing real patients who exhibit every conceivable ailment which medical students need to learn to diagnose and treat. An e-learning approach using interactive computer simulations known as virtual patients is one way to solve the problem, but in which settings is the use of these virtual patients most effective?"

"The Institute for Innovative Technology In Medical Education (iInTIME) meets its mission by collaborating to develop and then distribute virtual patient cases and other on-line educational modules that are consistent with iInTIME's educational philosophy. These virtual patient cases harness the power of medical knowledge and are designed to supplement traditional clerkship teaching and patient care activities for third-year medical students, but also are appropriate for many other learners."

Results: It is anticipated that the 12 tips will provide medical educators interested in authoring virtual patient cases one set of useful guidelines to facilitate the process. Conclusions: Virtual patient cases provide medical educators with an innovative tool for medical education. These guidelines will assist authors in case development.

"Welcome to the Virtual Interactive Case (VIC) system for creating simulations of encounters with patients in clinics. VIC cases are clinical reasoning exercises with feedback. Their role is to provide a bridge between theory and seeing patients in clinic (or ER), providing students with what Ericsson has called "deliberate practice" as a way of gaining clinical expertise. The strength of VIC is that it is optimized for rapidly creating a large number of cases, by using a patient template, and creating variations of cases with different differential diagnoses for the same presenting complaint."

""Resources for designing, implementing and evaluating virtual patients in health professions education" "

a self-training, user-friendly educational software program, available at the Lysosomal Storage Research Group (http://www.lysosomalstorageresearch.ca), was developed using the Adobe Flash multimedia platform. It was designed to function both to provide a realistic, interactive virtual clinic and instantaneous access to supporting literature on Hunter disease.

WebMic is an Internet interactive virtual microscope that resembles the use of a real microscope. It was developed by Dr Robert Ogilvie of the Medical University of South Carolina, USA.

"AFMC and the Norlien Foundation have partnered to provide funding and support for the development of a suite of e-learning tools on early brain and biological development and addictions for undergraduate medical education. The suite of resources includes virtual patients, a primer (e-textbook), and podcast series. Topics that are addressed include core concepts of early child development, epigenetics, intervention and treatment strategies, and system responses to addiction."

"The editors at iMedicalApps have gone through the free medical apps available for the iPad, and we have chosen 10 free medical apps that healthcare professionals can utilize. These apps range from simple drug reference apps to 3D virtual reality medical apps that make use of the iPads accelerometer. Unlike many other so called "top-10″ lists, this list is not based on the most downloaded apps in the medical section of the App Store."

"GeriaSims are interactive "virtual patient" simulations on issues encountered in the care of older adults. Each simulation takes approximately 1 hour to complete, depending on your level of content knowledge."
