Computer-based patient simulations have been used to enhance the dental curriculum since the 1980s. This article describes the development of CASE STUDIES for Dentistry (CSD), a patient case simulation building template, developed at Virginia Commonwealth University, with which authors who have no programming expertise can create realistic, effective, interactive multimedia patient simulations by entering their own information and images into a straightforward, fill in the blanks interface. This program was written with Authorware, by Macromedia Inc. Design considerations included emphasis on information collection and analysis, synthesis of collected information, hypothesis proposal and testing, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The program consists of easily accessible interfaces for both authors and students. Authors build simulated patients using typed-in text and their own images. Faculty can build computer-based simulated patients so that students can immediately practice what they learn in class within a simulated doctor-patient relationship. CSD allows building simulations ranging from simple to complex patients in multiple disciplines. Robust feedback and other features allow students to learn both process and content in a self-directed, interactive environment.
自20世纪80年代以来，基于计算机的患者模拟已被用于改进牙科课程。本文介绍了弗吉尼亚联邦大学开发的牙科案例研究（CSD），这是一个患者案例模拟构建模板，没有编程专业知识的作者可以通过将自己的信息和图像输入一个简单的填空式界面来创建逼真、有效的交互式多媒体患者模拟。该程序由Macromedia公司的Authorware编写。设计考虑因素包括强调信息收集与分析、收集信息的综合、假设提出与检验、诊断以及治疗计划。该程序为作者和学生提供了易于访问的界面。作者使用输入的文本和自己的图像构建模拟患者。教师可以构建基于计算机的模拟患者，以便学生能够在模拟医患关系中立即实践他们在课堂上学到的知识。CSD允许构建从简单到复杂的多学科患者模拟。强大的反馈和其他功能使学生能够在自主、交互式环境中学习过程和内容。
