Abstract

The article by Smallwood et al. dealt with mind wandering in clinical medicine. We believe the principles proposed are equally applicable toe-learning instruction that uses clinical cases in the form of virtual patients (VPs) and have evidence to support the impact of mind wandering on learning and simulated student performance. Virtual patients can be defined as the interactive computer simulation of clinical scenarios for the purpose of medical training and assessment and are perhaps best placed to teach clinical reasoning skills. we welcome the highlighting of the importance of mind wandering in the context of student case-based learning and the use of electronic VPs, and have evidence to support an impact on students in case performance.
