摘要

A method to assess the competency of a healthcare practitioner, wherein the method provides a learning object repository comprising a plurality of previously- created virtual objects, creates a first template and a second template by the second module, wherein the first template comprises one or more previously-defined learning objectives, and wherein the second template comprises one or more previously- defined competency assessments related to the one or more selected learning objectives. The method provides the first template and the second template to the learning object repository. The method displays on a visual display device a virtual clinical world comprising a plurality of virtual objects retrieved from the learning object repository. Further according to the method, a practitioner selects a virtual patient from the virtual clinical world, selects a series of interactions with the patient, and selects patient data. The method tracks the selected patient interactions, and the selected patient data.
