Multimedia simulator of patient.

The paper presents a concept of an educational system for medical students designed to help them learn taking case history and diagnosing oncological patients. The system is a modification of the SYMULPA system worked out by the authors and implemented and tested at the Chemotherapy Clinic of the Medical Academy of Lódź. The main changes lie in the introduction of multimedia to the system, which improves communication capabilities of the system and enables a wider range of results to be considered and examined during case history taking.
