Abstract

Aims: To develop web-based interactive patient scenarios to support 3rd year medical students.
Background: Revision of the third year of the undergraduate programme at the Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ School of Medicine for 2005/6 involves production of 36 clinical problem scenarios for three 12 week rotations.
Summary of work: We have developed interactive electronic scenarios that guide the user through the stages of patient presentation, examination to discharge and follow up alone and in small groups. The problems are supplemented by further scenario developments and expected outcomes and backed up with face-to-face facilitator contact, automatic links back to preclinical resources for revision and appropriate peer reviewed web sites. Student tracking and progress recording is incorporated into the system. The web-interface has been designed to ensure educational curriculum requirements are appropriately covered. Student tasks are embedded throughout each scenario. Conclusions: Using the expertise of our electronic learning resources team with on-going clinical input from scenario developers and student feedback at all stages we have developed a system tailored to the requirements of our current curriculum, providing students with a viable and effective educational resource covering core material.
