Expert Guided Training Versus Self Learning with Virtual Patients
Sponsor: Acibadem University
Summary
Virtual patients have increasingly been used in the training of healthcare professionals to enhance critical decision-making skills in emergency patient management education. The aim of this study is to investigate the contribution of the virtual patient simulation used in the education of paramedic students by comparing the effectiveness of self-directed learning with expert-guided learning. Additionally, it is believed that the study will be beneficial for educators responsible for program design who are interested in integrating the case-based learning method with virtual patients into their curriculum.
