title: The Dynamic Patient Simulator: learning process, first results and students' satisfaction.
abstract: The Dynamic Patient Simulator (DPS) is an interactive case-program. After solving the case, third year medical students filled in an anonymous questionnaire. In this study we tried to have insight in the students' learning process and satisfaction. First results are presented. It seems that the implementation of the case was experienced as positive. The time aspect should be scheduled better and students should have as much time as they want to solve the case.
