| Project Summary | Curriculum renewal within the MD Undergraduate Program is calling for genetics programming that is longitudinal, integrated, contextualized, and reflective of the interprofessional nature of genetics in practice. Our challenge is to create an exciting, sustainable program for delivery to students distributed across our province. We have brought together a team of faculty and students from ten programs at UBC committed to develop online virtual patient experiences that will contribute to excellent genetic learning for students in all participating programs. Each virtual patient will have a basic storyline and core content designed to teach and assess broadly applicable genetics competencies, which are relevant to students from all participating programs. Program specific add-ons will support uniprofessional educational needs. The modules will have active learning components such as discussion boards, shared video annotations, group-developed wikis and more to support interactions and learning between students from different educational programs. |
