Hoffman, Kaaren I.; Abrahamson, Stephen – Journal of Medical Education, 1975
Sim One is a computer-controlled patient, a sophisticated simulator developed by the University of Southern California School of Medicine. This article summarizes fifteen cost-effectiveness studies conducted over a 2-year period. Savings with the use of Sim One were found to justify the cost within a short period. (JT)

Nelson, Charles D.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1979
"Diagnose" is a computer-assisted instruction lesson designed to give medical students experience in using deductive reasoning in diagnosis. The computer selects a mystery disease from a stored list, along with 12 randomly-selected clues--three indicators of presenting complaints, history, physical findings, and laboratory tests. (LBH)

Bidwell, Charles M.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1985
A program of computer-assisted patient-management problems for teaching pediatrics is described. At each decision point, the computer provides choices or an opportunity for the student to enter a statement. The students review their performance, checking their choices against those of the instructors at each point. (Author/MLW)

Friedman, Richard B.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1978
Computer-based simulations of the patient-physician encounter have been used at the University of Wisconsin Medical School for five years. They have been used to permit students to gain clinical experience, as part of a series of structured teaching conferences, and in a medical testing program. Student and faculty response is favorable.…

Nardone, David A.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1987
The use of computer-simulated case problems to improve skills in patient interviewing and symptom analysis was found to help teach symptom characterization but not to substitute for faculty teaching. Student team study on case simulations is recommended. (MSE)

Garrett, T. J.; Ashford, Alfred R. – Journal of Medical Education, 1986
A study that demonstrated that a group of medical residents could independently run microcomputer-based patient simulations and subsequently achieve significant increases in test scores is discussed. This outcome supports the use of computer-assisted instruction to provide a core of self-taught material for a clinical subspecialty rotation.…
