Abstract
The best implementation of web-based training we have found is located at the Marshall University School of Medicine (URL: http://medicus.marshall.edu/medicus.htm). Developed by Cristoph Lehmann, M.D. (now at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine) and Kent Hayes, The Interactive Patient is a realistic, interactive computer simulation of a patient's visit to a physician's office. The educational goals of the Interactive Patient include increasing students', interns', and physicians' knowledge of illness and disease; enhancing communication, examination, and clinical problem-solving skills; as well as augmenting risk/benefit analysis and professional behavior (Lehmann, Lehmann, & Freedman, 1997).
