ABSTRACT: Virtual patient design: exploring what works and why. A grounded theory study.

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Virtual patients (VPs) are online representations of clinical cases used in medical education. Widely adopted, they are well placed to teach clinical reasoning skills. International technology standards mean VPs can be created, shared and repurposed between institutions. A systematic review has highlighted the lack of evidence to support which of
