1
Virtual Learning Technologies for the Digital Generation
2
Grand Challenges in Medical Education Increasing education efficiency – New fields: genetics, informatics A torrent or flood of knowledge … while retaining humanistic values Employing modern educational tools – “Authentic” learning situations - Virtual patients & Task simulations Team based work - by simulating the work world Developing metrics for teaching quality and learning outcome – Embed assessment instrumentation within each lesson
3
Human Patient Simulator: One-person exercises in simulation centers
4
More manikin-based learning: Multi-person exercises in a simulation center
5
Virtual Emergency Department - 2004: Multi-person exercises in a virtual world Videogame technology Online exercises One–, or Multiple ‘patients’ Real people log in and take roles Patient is a ‘robot’ that responds to commands
6
Virtual Emergency Department Users access ‘information’ and exercise ‘decisions’ through menu Patient physiology is small set of rules Interactive scenario is followed by debrief
7
30 medical students & interns Virtual ED Simulator (n=16) pretest case 4 training cases posttest case Human Patient Simulator “HPS” (n=14) pretest case 4 training cases posttest case Is the Virtual ED effective? Is there a significant difference between the two methods? Emergency Dept. Team Training
8
Comparison of Pre & Post Mean Scores Mean Scores Pretest Sum ScoresPosttest Sum Scores *Significant at p=0.000 0.00 10.00 20.00 30.00 40.00 50.00 HPS Group Pretest Sum ScoresPosttest Sum Scores Pretest Sum Scores Posttest Sum Scores Virtual ED Group
9
Pretest Sum ScoresPosttest Sum Scores *Significant at p=0.000 Average improvement between pre- and posttest was 23 % after practicing on four critically ill virtual patients Nine interns did the ‘right Dx & Rx’,... training in a Virtual World
10
Virtual Environment s... Mimic Real Places
11
Creating 3D environments for learning, practicing, assessment
12
Stanford Emergency Department PATIENT CARE with INDIVIDUAL CASUALTIES... training in a Virtual World
13
Stanford Emergency Department PATIENT CARE IN MASS CASUALTY EVENTS, & AMID THE CHAOS
14
What do EM–MDs and RNs think?... training in a Virtual World
15
In conclusion New educational tools are: Immersive and interactive Action oriented with role playing Representing authentic work situations Current learning technologies: Virtual worlds parallel the real world Afford practice with virtual-real patients – with physiology, at a low cost, anytime, anywhere Allow ‘what-if?’ scenarios that prevent mistakes and improve safety in the real world
