AGS Virtual Patient Cases Program on the Assessment of Older Drivers

AGS Virtual Patient Cases Program on the Assessment of Older Drivers is organized by American Geriatrics Society (AGS) and will be held from Dec 11, 2019 - Dec 10, 2022.

Accreditation:
Each case provides 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM and 1.0 ABIM Maintenance of Certification points. 

Description:
The AGS Virtual Patient Cases on the Assessment of Older Drivers, developed through a cooperative agreement between AGS and the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), provides virtual patient simulations of clinical encounters with three older drivers. These cases provide an opportunity for healthcare professionals to learn how to incorporate the safety needs of older drivers while diagnosing and managing a patient in a virtual clinical encounter.

The cases were developed and customized in partnership with DxR Clinician. They are designed to teach and assess various aspects of clinical reasoning skills in a context that parallels what a healthcare professional does when seeing a real patient. Using case studies authored by medical educators and based on real patients with all the complexity of real patients' problems allows the professional to simulate an actual clinical encounter with the highest possible fidelity.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
