Abstract
Internal Medicine lessons were integrated with simulation of clinical cases (Socrates program). The subsequent evaluation of 188 students was conducted with the Procustes program (Computer-Aided Assessment of Patient Problem: CAAPP). An increase in the number of training hours with the Socrates program results in improved examination performance. The data suggest that teaching with a learning program based on simulation of a clinical problem or cases may be a useful tool to integrate with traditional lessons. In addition, assessment with the Procustes program may support the appraisal of clinical knowledge and competence.Keywords
