Creating virtual patient circuits

Institutional virtual patients can be organised into collections called Circuits. Circuits allow you to group sets of virtual patients together, for example by specialty or type of consultation.

To be added to a circuit, a virtual patient must be published and accessible to students. Draft virtual patients cannot be included.

Creating a virtual patient circuit

1. Navigate to the Virtual patient collection page.
2. Click Build a circuit.
3. Select the virtual patients you want to add.
4. Click Save circuit.
5. A popup will appear where you can either create a new circuit or assign the selected virtual patients to an existing circuit.

Viewing and sharing circuits

Circuits you create are listed on the Circuits page. From here, you can:

• Share a direct link to the circuit with students
• Manage which virtual patients are assigned to each circuit
