D-CREDO Project: Specific Needs Analysis Survey

The EU project D-CREDO (Digital Health Technologies-augmented Clinical Reasoning Education) plans to develop high-quality learning units alongside virtual patients that will prepare students for the responsible use of digital tools in clinical reasoning (CR). CR is a fundamental concept in education, referring to the cognitive process that healthcare professionals use to assess and manage patient problems. It involves gathering and analyzing patient information, formulating hypotheses, making diagnoses, and deciding on appropriate treatments. The process requires the integration of both theoretical knowledge (medical and nursing science) and practical experience (clinical practice) to ensure effective patient care.

In this survey, we will ask you about your opinion on the relevance and usage of digital health technologies and tools in clinical reasoning and your views on the optimal methods for teaching and assessment at your institution. Your input is highly valued and will help in designing the D-CREDO learning units and establishing evidence-based policies for the use of digital tools in clinical reasoning education.

Please answer the questions as accurately as possible. Your answers will be stored anonymously. The study has been approved by the Biomedical Research Ethics Committee of Bukovinian State Medical University. The findings from this survey may be published in congress contributions and scientific publications. With your participation, you agree to the use of your data for these purposes.
