Notes on Clinical Simulations for the Problem Oriented Medical Curriculum at Sheppard Air Force Base

Abstract

This set of patient management problems was prepared for testing students in the physicians' assistant program at Sheppard Air Force Base. The staff at Sheppard had implemented a Problem Oriented Medical Curriculum on the PLATO IV computer-based education system, and decided to use clinical simulations rather than traditional test items in assessing program results. This curriculum development for CAI materials was undertaken as part of a military field trial for PLATO.
