Abstract: A virtual reality platform is provided for training medical personnel to diagnose patients. A virtual reality platform can include application software that creates a virtual reality environment in which patients having a variety of conditions can be examined. As the user interacts with a patient in the virtual reality environment, the application software can present elements of patient information. The application software can track whether the user discovers the elements of patient information that are necessary to arrive at the correct diagnosis for the correct reasons and present a corresponding score to assist the user in developing his or her diagnosing skills. The application software may also be configured to provide a differential diagnose coach feature to enable the user to learn how each element of patient information he or she discovers when examining a patient may impact the likelihood that the patient has a particular condition.
