| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Clinical reasoning is one of the most important skills that medical students need to develop. Our medical students learn clinical reasoning in small group discussion sessions and during their clinical attachments. We wanted to provide additional opportunities for them to develop these important skills. CONTEXT: Our undergraduate paediatric curriculum is based on 25 clinical presentations, and is delivered on the website myPaediatrics. We used simple show-and-hide case examples in each presentation to illustrate to students how to use the knowledge and skills they acquire to solve the clinical presentations. These are popular with students but provide little opportunity for interaction. INNOVATION: Based on two commonly available formats for the virtual patient, neither of which had fully met the specific needs of our undergraduate students, we developed hybrid software: evPaeds. Close collaboration with students and teachers ensured that evPaeds met the unique learning needs of undergraduate students. evPaeds incorporates the Paediatric Decision Tree, which encourages students to make decisions on investigations and management, with immediate feedback. Explicitly referring to the basic sciences in our virtual patients resulted in them being valuable to students in both the pre-clinical and clinical years. IMPLICATIONS: evPaeds has proven popular with students to practise and develop clinical reasoning, individually or in small group sessions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
