Day 2 Virtual Patients – What are we talking about?

After a cup of warm coffee at the beginning of the second day workshop opening, the first workshop material began with what is meant by virtual patients. Presented by facilitators AP Dr. Andrzej Kononowicz from Jagiellonian University and Natalia Stathakarou from Karolinska Institutet, two pioneering universities in the development of virtual patients, this session discussed the implementation of virtual patients at the two universities.

"The use of virtual patients has been around for 40 years, so what we are doing today is not new, but the development will be very rapid, necessitating immediate implementation because it positively impacts the higher education learning process." According to AP Dr. Andrzej Kononowicz while presenting a meta-analysis on the development of virtual patients in the field of health education.

The next session covered an interesting topic on clinical reasoning as a skill frequently addressed through virtual patient simulations, encompassing an interprofessional definition, key components, selected basic theories, and common teaching methods used in clinical reasoning education. This session was complemented by a demonstration of the use of virtual patients in learning using the iCoViP Project through the CASUS System.

The next activity challenged workshop participants to create a virtual patient design from each university representative according to the provided template. The end of the morning session of the workshop was concluded with a very challenging small group activity involving the presentation of each group's virtual patient design using the World Café method.

After a Malaysian-style lunch, the workshop resumed with a focus on the implementation of virtual patients in the CASUS System. The facilitator walked around to ensure that the virtual patients created were correctly entered into the CASUS System. Creating virtual cases and making them seem real for use as learning materials is very challenging according to most participants. The second day of the workshop was concluded with feedback from the facilitator and participants regarding the CASUS System.

Tired but very challenging !

Creating strong bonds

Landing in Kuala Lumpur, approaching the traditions between nations in Malaysia made the atmosphere of the workshop held from 13 to 17 January 2024 more colorful. Various nations and countries sat together to unite perceptions and thoughts in a joint research workshop on the implementation of virtual patients in health care education across Malaysia and Indonesia funded by the European Union through the grant Culture and Health System Adaptation of Virtual Patients as Collaborative Learning eResources South East Asia (CHAPTER SEA).

Starting from the explanation of the Project Leader Assoc. Prof (AP) Dr. Lee Yew Kong regarding the CHAPTER SEA program and a glimpse of Universiti Malaya and how the program will run in the future, all participants listened carefully. AP YK reminded that it is currently durian season in Malaysia, so reminded all participants not to forget to try the sweet durian which has a very distinctive taste and texture. The next explanation regarding the CHAPTER SEA project and what Virtual Patients are was given by Jagiellonian University by AP Dr. Andrzej Kononowicz and Karolinska Institutet by Natalia Stathakarou, two pioneering universities in the development of virtual patients.

Other teams actively participated and each university introduced themselves in turn starting from Universiti Putra Malaysia by Ybhg Prof. Dr. Sazlina binti Shariff Ghazali, Taylor's University by Dr. Renukha Sellappans, Universitas Gadjah Mada by Dr. Syahirul Alim and Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University by Dr. Fika Ekayanti. Conveying the advantages of their respective universities and the natural wealth of their countries, both volcanoes and lakes, the entire team tried to align perceptions, strengthen bonds so that they could collaborate optimally in the future and get the best results.
