The eViP Project

http://www.virtualpatients.eu

3-years project co-funded by the European Union

Aims

Creating large international repository of virtual patients Sharing/exchanging of virtual patients Repurposing of virtual patients (adaptation of VPs to national

health care standards and conditions) Implementation of virtual patients into the local medical curricula

Project Partners St Georges, University of London

Karolinska Institutet Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich University of Warwick Maastricht University University of Heidelberg University "Iuliu Hatieganu" Cluj-Napoca Jagiellonian University Medical College

further repurposing

Virtual Patient (VP) content is obtained from Munich(including text, figures, images, videos)

Translation of the text fromGerman or English into Polish

Content matter expertsrepurpose the case to national

standards and conditions

Adaptation of multimedia materials(e.g. movie subtitles,

localized images&forms)

VP waiting to be introduced intomedical curriculum

e.g. interdisciplinary repurposing:medicine nursery structure repurposinglinear branched

Changes in curriculumWhere to use VPs?How to motivate student to use VPs?

Technical IssuesVP System (own development, existing system)VP Model (linear, branched)

VP repository profileSpecialized (few discipilnes with many cases) ?Broad Scoped (VPs should cover as many disciplines as possible withpotentially few cases) ?
