“…Last but not least, one must consider the learning styles as students approach learning differently. The suggestion therefore is that different learner types respond either more positively or negatively towards VP contents, which also impacts their knowledge gain . This area of research, taking into consideration the different learning styles of students in regards to knowledge improvement with VP, needs to be further developed in the future.…”

“…This means that the students have to use their knowledge to obtain a focused patient history, order proper diagnostics, interpret diagnostic results and treat the patient on the basis of the results. This also means that they can take the wrong decisions and learn from their mistakes, benefiting from instant feedback …”

“…This also means that they can take the wrong decisions and learn from their mistakes, benefiting from instant feedback. [8][9][10] Reports on the implementation of VP in a classroom setting have shown that they are promising with regard to their ability to increase student motivation levels to encourage students to engage more and perform better on similar questions in exams. [4][5][6] Botezatu and colleagues also argue that in comparison to high-fidelity simulators and standardised patients, VP lead to better knowledge retention rates among students.…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of virtual patient‐based training on the clinical decision‐making ability of dental students. Methods This quasi‐experimental study with pretest and posttest design was conducted on 76 (2015 admitted) dental students of Shiraz Dental School in 2018–2019. The study samples were randomly divided into 2 groups: intervention (web‐based virtual patient training = 36) and control (face‐to‐face case‐based training, n = 40). The data collection tools in this study included a questionnaire consisting of 2 sections: demographic information and procedural knowledge. The key‐feature test was used to measure procedural knowledge and problem‐solving ability in students. Content validity was confirmed by 7 faculty members. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS Statistics version 23.0. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the samples, Independent‐t test was used to compare the scores between the 2 groups, and repeated measures ANOVA was used to assess the effect of time on the training provided. P < 0.05 was considered as the acceptable significance level. Results The mean clinical‐decision‐making score in the intervention group (11.3 ± 88.88) was more than the control group (8.2 ± 45.54) in Posttest 1 (1 week after intervention), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Besides, the scores in the control group (8.2 ± 45.54) rose more significantly than the intervention group (11.3 ± 0.86) in Posttest 2 (1 month after intervention) (P < 0.001). Conclusion The results of the present research showed that application of virtual patient (VP)‐based training can improve learning and clinical decision‐making ability of dental students. Moreover, group discussions in physical classrooms should be held alongside VP programs in order to ensure the maximum retention of the topics learned.

Abstract-Problem based learning, utilizing simulations and virtual reality tools represents one of the approaches integrated into the education of medicine to prepare medical students for both the bedside teaching and their later clinical praxis. On the other side, implementation of innovative didactic materials may be useful also for veterinary medicine students. Thus, veterinary topics can be introduced and explained in the form of virtual cases, helping students to understand relationships between theory and practical application of their decisions. Simulations and virtual cases are also used to assess students' clinical reasoning skills. Therefore, our work is aimed on integration of modern simulation tools into education process at University of veterinary medicine and pharmacy in Košice, Slovakia. Inspired by our colleagues from Faculty of Medicine in Košice and respecting our requirements we were able to specify appropriate methods and to introduce the first veterinary virtual patient to our students.
