Abstract

A computer‐assisted simulation of the “chart method” of teaching has been developed and used to provide instruction in clinical decisionmaking in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases. The course requires a student to reach and defend a diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment for each of 10 simulated cases. Evaluation of performance and immediate feedback and correction of errors of commission and omission are an integral part of the course. The course provides a model for the development of additional programs in other subject areas.
