Research Project:
AI-Enhanced Medical Education
This application forms one component of a doctoral investigation into AI‑powered virtual learning environments for clinical competency development. Participants practice history‑taking with a safe, realistic virtual patient and receive structured feedback for research analysis.

Developing and evaluating AI‑powered virtual learning environments to strengthen core clinical competencies.
Study Timeline
Click a phase or use arrow keys
- Systematic literature review (AI in medical education, TEL, competencies)
- Integrate educational psychology & technology acceptance models
- Develop AI tools (virtual patient, clinical supervision, etc.)
- Expert validation panels (educators/clinicians/technologists/AI)
- Usability testing with students and educators
- Iterative refinement guided by pedagogy & feedback
Evidence‑Based Educational Design
This trainer integrates established pedagogical frameworks and validated assessment models to support rigorous study outcomes.
Academic Context
Part of a PhD study: “Developing and Evaluating AI‑Powered Virtual Learning Environments for Core Clinical Competencies in Medical Education.”
Pedagogical Foundations
Grounded in Experiential Learning Theory and Social Cognitive Theory to support deliberate practice and self‑efficacy.
Competency Assessment
Uses established frameworks including Calgary‑Cambridge and SEGUE to structure feedback and evaluation.
Participate in the Study
Engage with a realistic virtual patient for a timed history‑taking session and receive structured feedback used for research analysis.
