METHOD: 4th year Romanian medical students underwent training in English with 8 virtual patients. The cases were taught in both Romanian and English. Several cases came from the U.S.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences between student performance on the Romanian vs. English version of virtual patients.
CONCLUSION: The development of a virtual patient educational program in English appears to be feasible, cost-effective and in accordance with the globalization of medical education, even in countries were English is not the native language.
