Frisch, Emily H.; Greb, Alexandra C.; Youm, Julie H.; Wiechmann, Warren F.; Greenberg, Milton L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
We introduced the AliveCor KardiaMobile electrocardiogram (ECG), a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, iPad-enabled medical device, into the preclerkship curriculum to demonstrate the clinical relevance of cardiac electrophysiology with active learning. An evaluation showed that medical students considered the KardiaMobile ECG active…

Simulation of Skin Diseases for Teaching Dermatological Diagnosis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Short, John M.; Hess, Alan C. – Journal of Medical Education, 1980
A technique for simulating the papulosquamous skin diseases, using a computer, has been developed and tested with medical students and dermatologists to determine whether this type of simulation is suitable for training students in dermatological diagnosis. The results indicate that it appears to be feasible for training students in differential…

Analysis of Expert Diagnosis of a Computer Simulation of Congenital Heart Disease
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Johnson, Paul E.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1975
It is concluded that while behavior of experts in the hospital and clinic is the primary means of evaluating successful student performance, computer simulations of patient cases offer the opportunity to use expert data in the calibration of student error. (Editor)

Making Decisions under the Influence of Memory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fox, John – Psychological Review, 1980
Decision-making processes were investigated in a laboratory analogue of clinical diagnosis and through computer simulations of decision making. The data indicated that nonprobabilistic theories can provide plausible and complete accounts of decision behavior and can improve quantitative accuracy of predictions that are based on traditional…
