The CHEC-CHEC Virtual Patient Challenge is designed to recognize excellence in e-learning among Canadian healthcare educators and learners and highlight the utility of virtual patients for learning, teaching, and assessment. The Challenge is an initiative of the AFMC-Infoway Physician in Training e-Health Curriculum and eLearning project. The focus of the challenge is on virtual patients that incorporate the use of electronic health records (EHRs) and other e-health components that can be used to improve patient care.
