Author(s): Eric W Lam, Ivan C Lam, Miriam E Schwartz, Deborah Woo and Douglas E Paull*
Objective: Virtual strategies have assumed an even greater role in medical education and graduate medical education during the recent pandemic. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of case-based, virtual patient simulation on medical education and graduate medical education. Methods: A literature search of years 2000 through 2019 discovered 2,285 potential articles on virtual patient simulation. Fifty-four articles meeting the following criteria were included in the meta-analysis: involved medical education or graduate medical education participants; utilized case-based virtual patient simulations; and contained enough data to calculate an effect size (number of participants in each study arm, mean, and standard deviation of at least one measured learning outcome). Results: Virtual patient simulation.. Read More»
