Abstract :
This paper presents the design, development and testing of an e-assessment system, focusing on the practical part of the Medical School training. It also discusses several important aspects that need to be taken into consideration when creating an e-learning application for the medical domain. For example, the application must accustom the student with certain procedure protocols, it must be available to as many scholars as possible and it must be appealing in order for the students to exercise a greater amount of time. The results indicate that case-bcase-based virtual patient systemsased virtual patient systems can help prepare experts in the medical field with low costs and without allowing patients to be treated by still-training doctors.
