Personalized Feedback
vCases® Believes: Personalized feedback comparing one’s decisions with those of experts is a non-threatening, powerful way to learn, better than judgmental and critical commentary.
Each vCases realistic case culminates in a personalized, analytical Epilogue that reviews the recorded choices users made and compares them with the choices and rationales of the case author, an expert clinician. This Epilogue personal analysis gives users unique opportunities to confront their self-directed decisions shortly after making them, when they are most likely to be remembered. This helps them to become better diagnosticians. The Epilogue also enhances the value of vCases by helping faculty assess diagnostic performance and identify learning problems.
The Epilogue Is the Key to vCases

When key findings are most useful
Why DiffDx narrowing is important
How negative findings can be important.
