Article Synopsis
- To minimize medication errors, medical education must focus on teaching safe and rational prescribing practices, integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as pharmacology, physiology, and pathology.
- Traditional lecture-based pharmacology teaching often leads to passive learning, while virtual patients (VPs) provide a more interactive, active learning experience, particularly in clinical education.
- This study found that combining traditional methods with VPs in preclinical pharmacology improved students' exam performance and satisfaction, suggesting that VPs can enhance learning and understanding of pharmacological concepts.
