The relation between clinical facts, subjective patient experiences, and professional self-awareness is an integral aspect of mastering patient-centered skills in psychiatry.
This project aims to establish best practices for patient-centered educational technologies that integrate biomedical, sociocultural, and existential perspectives in the field of psychiatry education.
Our project explores the potential of patient-centered learning through video and virtual reality simulations (virtual patients) with a focus on their conceptual design and didactic application in educational contexts.
Method
In pursuit of comprehensive insights and fostering innovative perspectives, PACET embraces a diverse experimental approach using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies
While the project's focal point is patient-centered educational technologies in psychiatry education, the conceptual and didactical principles have potential applicability across various disciplines.
Perspectives
The project has identified a gap in comprehensive research on designing and using virtual patient scenarios in psychiatric education.
Preliminary findings of this project suggest that employing a phenomenological approach to virtual patients in psychiatry education may advance patient-centered learning and opens avenues for further research.
The ultimate aim is to enhance learning in psychopathology through state-of-the-art virtual patients, thereby contributing to improved diagnostic reliability.
