ABSTRACT:
Online education and computer assisted learning became the innovative method of teaching during the lockdown. But the situation became much challenging for medical and nursing education as they need real patients to enhance the clinical learning. The virtual patient is a computer- based programme which simulates the real patient scenario. The educational concept of virtual patient emphasises the principles of learning- learning by doing; as it provides opportunity for self -experience and self- assessment. The virtual patient learning has been implemented in certain settings to promote medical learning. The promotion of virtual patient will enable the faculty to provide a simulated clinical experience to the nursing and medical students during the lock down as well as in providing pre-clinical experience.
