Dear Students,
Welcome to the summer semester 2017/2018, we wish you effective learning and good luck in the exams!
Best regards, ZDiSM team
On January 19, 2018 the Centre of Medical Simulation hosted Prof. Giulio Tavarnesi and Tino Cennamo, VPL Product Specialists of Lifelike, who presented an innovative software used in teaching and learning medicine – Virtual Patient Learning.
The participants of the Conference "Standardized Patient – 1st Polish Experts Meeting” and the Faculty of Medical University of Lublin could learn how to implement the VPL in medical education as a complementary tool to Problem Based Learning method. In VPL students not only learn clinical reasoning from a problem or a case but also simulate a doctor-patient encounter throughout all the stages of a diagnostic process and therapeutic decision-making. What is more, virtual patients, played by professional actors of different nationalities and etnical backgrounds, trained to simulate variable moods, attitudes and emotional responses through verbal and non-verbal communication, make the training more lifelike and help students to develop non-technical skills.

We would like to inform you that the team has been chosen, which will represent the Medical University of Lublin during this year's SimChallenge competition. Members of the team: Krzysztof Ślusarczyk, Marek Dąbrowski, Marek Winiarz, Anna Roszkowska, Justyna Kwolczak.
Held between January 19th and 20th, 2018, the Department of Didactics and Medical Simulation - Medical University of Lublin organized a Scientific and Training Conference "Standardized Patient – 1st Polish Experts Meeting."
Moderated by Ms Magdalena Horodenska, MA, Department of Didactics and Medical Simulation MUL, the meeting was aimed at tapping into the experience of SP experts. More than 40 specialists from thirteen Polish universities met to share their ideas about development and implementation of Standardized Patient Programs. The Conference was opened with an introductory video-lecture made by Ms Evelyn Van Weel-Baumgorten, the President of EACH - Internatioanl Association for Communication in Healthcare, who provided the principles and methodology for using SP in medical education. Following the lecture, the experts began a discussion on the SP recruitment and training methods and the process of writing simulation. They were also introduced to the latest software used in medical education – Virtual Patient Learning, presented by Giulio Tavarnesi and Tino Cennamo, VPL Product Specialists of Lifelike.
The conference was organized in partnership with EACH International Association for Communication in Healthcare, EDRA Urban& Partner sp. z o.o. – Publishing Company, and Lublin Medicine – Medical and Wellness Cluster. The meeting resulted in the establishment of a national network of SP experts who will continue their professional discussion at www.mediq.edu.pl
