ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how medical students learn and interact with both physical and virtual standardized patients. Standardized patients are actors who are trained to simulate real patients, and they have been an important part of medical training in Taiwan for over 15 years. With technology changing the way we learn, this study will help us understand how students feel about using virtual patients compared to physical ones. Researchers will collect feedback from students through questionnaires and interviews to improve medical education.

To participate in this study, you need to be a medical student at the National Taiwan University School of Medicine and be able to understand and agree to the research terms. If you've used similar virtual patient software before or have trouble using technology, you may not be able to join. Participants can expect to share their thoughts on the learning experience and help shape the future of medical training by providing insights on how to best use virtual methods in education.
