Project Highlights

The most important result of CLEVER implementation is the creation of a pool of relevant clinical cases database with their development and tools of direct student involvement in their solving (in relation to existing internationally accepted evidence based clinical guidelines). In the dissemination phase of the project, the wider implementation of the online platform (owing to the dissemination activities and the multiplier events) will generate a continuously increasing learning foundation which will benefit an increasing base of students from multiple higher education institutions.

The dissemination activities are designed to valorize the results (the VPC created during the project managed by the ICT platform) on two axes:

• toward the resident and specialist doctors via the medical societies (the medical societies are the professional organizations of doctors);
• to a complex training system that will be composed by VPCs and medical simulation. The last skill development technique received a very significant importance due to several causes, from ethics to technological developments. This dual form of training (CBL + medical simulation) is very suitable for supporting the Continuous Medical Education specific to all physicians and has to become the basis of the lifelong training of student, resident and specialist doctors.

This is the strategic approach of this project, to put together CBL and medical simulation and to develop such complex training mix in order to be used during the training or assessing sessions specific to all exams for medical competences that a doctor has to pass during his professional life with a special focus on evidence based care and multidisciplinary approaches.

Increasing knowledge on how the learning process works, its strengths and weaknesses will generate a significant, distinct change in the way clinical teaching is set up and carried out in all medical schools at all levels.
