This work proposes to expose and provide feedback to medical students on abnormal clinical conditions through the use of immersive virtual patients (VPs). Immersive VPs are highly interactive, computer-generated, life-size virtual 3D characters. As medical educators have difficulty in providing students with sufficient experiences with abnormal clinical conditions, testing students using patients with abnormal findings has been difficult to plan. VPs can fill this critical education need for interactive exposure. The aim is to use a VP system to provide students with interactions and feedback in scenarios involving abnormal clinical findings. The dynamic attribute of VPs provides significant benefits in presenting abnormal conditions. The goal is to establish the use of VPs as a powerful addition to SPs and physical simulators in the medical education curriculum. Aim #1 ¿ Develop a proof-of-concept set of virtual patients with blurred vision to expose medical students to abnormal findings. We propose creating a set of three experiences of a virtual patient with blurred vision. The blurred vision will be caused by one of the following: 1) An injury to one of the cranial nerves, 2) diabetic retinal disease, or 3) cranial mass (brain tumor). All conditions begin with a similar starting interview. But as the interview progresses, the student needs to employ careful visual observation and interactive exams. Blurred vision is difficult to reproduce with standardized patients and has no existing mannequin or physical simulators. Aim #2 ¿ Develop a system capable of providing feedback to medical students on their knowledge of abnormal findings. The system will evaluate the student's interaction with the blurred vision virtual patient. The system will then provide feedback to the student on their conduct of the patient-doctor interaction. The feedback will focus on the interview, eye-exam, observation of key symptoms, and differential diagnosis. Aim #3 ¿ Pilot-test the integration of abnormal findings virtual patients into the education curriculum. We propose to integrate the resulting system into the medical education curriculum. At the University of Florida, 3rd year medical students in their surgical rotation will be exposed to the blurred vision virtual patient. After covering blurred vision conditions in lectures, students would experience a virtual patient presenting one of three blurred vision conditions. This work will improve public health by exposing medical students to infrequent or difficult to simulate scenarios. Medical students will interact with computer-generated 3D immersive virtual patients with abnormal conditions.

这项工作提出，暴露和提供反馈，医学生对异常 通过使用沉浸式虚拟患者（VP）来改善临床状况。沉浸式副总裁 是高度互动的，计算机生成的，真人大小的虚拟3D角色。医疗 教育工作者很难为学生提供足够的经验， 临床条件下，测试学生使用患者的异常结果一直是 很难计划。副总裁可以填补这一关键的教育需要互动曝光。的 目的是使用VP系统为学生提供互动和反馈， 涉及异常临床结果的情况。 VP的动态属性在呈现异常方面提供了显着的好处 条件目标是将VP作为SP的有力补充， 物理模拟器在医学教育课程中的应用。 目标#1 <$开发一套概念验证的虚拟视力模糊患者 让医学院学生接触到异常的发现我们建议建立一套 一个视力模糊的虚拟病人的三次经历。模糊的视觉将是 由以下原因之一引起：1）脑神经损伤，2）糖尿病 视网膜疾病，或3）颅骨肿块（脑肿瘤）。所有条件开始都类似于 开始面试。但随着面试的进行，学生需要小心地 视觉观察和交互式考试。视力模糊很难重现 标准化的病人，没有现有的人体模型或物理模拟器。 目标#2：开发一个能够为医学生提供反馈的系统 他们对异常发现的了解系统将评估学生的 与视力模糊的虚拟患者的交互。然后系统会提供反馈 学生在医患互动中的表现。反馈将集中在 关于面谈、眼科检查、观察主要症状和鉴别诊断。 目标#3 <$试点测试异常结果虚拟患者的整合到 教育课程。我们建议将由此产生的系统集成到医疗 教育课程。在佛罗里达大学， 手术旋转将暴露给视力模糊的虚拟患者。覆盖后 在讲座中视力模糊的情况下，学生将体验到一个虚拟的病人， 呈现三种视力模糊状况之一。这项工作将通过使医学生接触不经常或 很难模拟场景。医学院的学生将与计算机生成的 3D沉浸式虚拟患者异常状况。
