Collaborative Development of Feedback Concept Maps for Virtual Patient-Based Clinical Reasoning Education: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Concept maps are a suitable method for teaching clinical reasoning (CR). For example, in a concept map, findings, tests, differential diagnoses, and treatment options can be documented and connected to each other. When combined with virtual patients, automated feedback can be provided to the students' concept maps. However, as CR is a nonlinear process, feedback concept maps that are created together by several individuals might address this issue and cover perspectives from different health professionals.

Objective

In this study, we aimed to develop a collaborative process for creating feedback concept maps in virtual patient-based CR education.

Methods

Health professionals of different specialties, nationalities, and levels of experience in education indi
