title: eViP: sharing virtual patients across Europe.
abstract: Virtual Patients are interactive computer programs that simulate real life clinical scenarios for educational purposes. The European Commission co-funded Electronic Virtual Patient (eViP) programme is a collaboration among 8 universities working towards creating a shareable bank of virtual patients. eViP is creating an application profile of the MedBiquitous Virtual Patient specification to enable the exchange of interoperable virtual patient activities across institutions.
