Screen shots of virtual simulation. Description of data: We show examples from the simulation. a Each case included a 2-D rendering of the patient, a chief complaint, vital signs, a history, and a written description of the physical exam. Physicians had 42 min (a simulated 8 h shift) to complete the ten cases. A clock at the top right of the screen helped track the passage of time. b Physicians could manage patients by selecting from a pre-specified list of 250 medications, studies, and procedures. c We included audio-visual distractors, including nursing requests for help with disruptive patients to increase the verisimilitude of the experience
