This document discusses virtual patients (VPs), which are interactive computer simulations used in healthcare education to allow learners to take on the role of healthcare professionals. VPs help develop clinical skills and allow students to practice in a safe environment. There are different types of VPs, including artificial patients, physical simulators, and case studies. Factors to consider when developing VPs include the intended users, what users should achieve, whether individuals or groups will use it, development assistance needed, and cost versus benefit. The document also describes how the Royal Veterinary College is capturing veterinary case details in PowerPoint templates for conversion to linear VPs to use in teaching.
