What is VPIP?
Modelled on problem-based learning, VPIP consists of fictional consultation scenarios with 'Virtual Patients'. Healthcare professionals are able to navigate as they would in clinical practice - the result is real-time feedback on a range of activities including patient interaction, differential diagnosis, referral pathways, treatment, and ongoing management.
The scope of each consultation can be tailored to meet a wide range of learning objectives – and it doesn’t require special software or technical training to implement.
For self-directed learning, a VPIP consultation provides real-time individualised feedback on activities undertaken and compares them to guidelines and peer results. VPIP can also measure how an individual's approach to a scenario has changed over time or as a result of feedback or an educational intervention - making it an effective tool for self-assessment or predisposing and reinforcing activities.
Versatility is what makes VPIP a powerful tool.
For live meetings, VPIP is an interactive tool that generates a real-time report on the audience’s activities. The result is a bespoke experience in which a speaker is able to lead a case-based discussion that zeroes in on what’s most relevant to the people in the room.
