Electronic virtual medical patients of OpenLabyrinth platform as simulative modality in training of graduate students against medical errors in pediatric

Abstract

The aim of the study was the initial evaluation of educational efficiency of project TAME using new simulative modality of cases based on e-virtual patients (OpenLabyrinth platform) at undergraduate stage. Typical case scenario tutorial consisted of a group of 6 to 10 students (totally 80 students, 8 groups). In pediatric curriculum for graduate students 12 simulative sessions with 6 clinical e-virtual cases were included. Using of e-virtual patients in the study of the project TAME allows to bring learning to the real situation, to work out in practice problem-solving skills and decision-making, improve efficiency and productivity of the training of medical students.
