Abstract
A serious limitation of medical tutoring software in Germany is the lacking integration in the university education routine. In this study, we propose a scenario for such an integration and discuss the results of an evaluation. The scenario is to complement lectures with patient presentations by the use of a training system showing the same cases in a formalized form, so that the students can consolidate their newly acquired knowledge. Then, the students may test themselves by solving a symptomatically similar case with a potentially different diagnosis while being criticized by the training system. Technical prerequisites for this scenario are a knowledge based training system for solving the newly entered cases that were discussed in the lectures and a case-comparison component for finding symptomatically similar cases from a large case base. Both are provided by the diagnostic shell box D3.
