An e-learning platform for clinical reasoning in cardiovascular diseases: a study reporting on learner and tutor satisfaction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medical students gain essential skills through hospital training and internships, which complement their theoretical education. However, virtual patient platforms have been shown to effectively promote clinical reasoning and enhance learning outcomes. This study evaluates a web-based platform designed for learning clinical reasoning in cardiovascular diseases, detailing its functionalities and user satisfaction.
