Q4 - While working through this case, I was actively engaged in revising my initial image of the patient’s problem as new information became available. Q9 - The feedback I received while working through this case was helpful in enhancing my diagnostic reasoning in this case. Q10 - After completing this case, I feel better prepared to confirm a diagnosis and exclude differential diagnoses in a real life patient with this complaint.  well present reality of work in hospital ward  mobilize to thinking of patient’s problem and finding solution  expert comments were very helpful, especially when I didn’t undrestand more complicated issues  some questions were too difficult and too detailled  I would like to solve more virtual medical cases  It was hard to motivate myself to go through all at home

11  Repurposing and creating VP is time-consuming  Difficulties with creation of new media  Additional elements activating and coaching students are helpful  Troublesome implementation (lack of computer lab, low motivation of students)  Student like this new educational tool  … SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS
