Abstract
A method of medical training includes presenting a user with a medical scenario within a medical simulation in which the user plays a physician. The medical scenario includes an interaction between the user and a patient. Performance data corresponding to the user is identified. The identified performance data is based at least in part on an action of the user during the interaction between the user and the patient. The user is evaluated based at least in part on the identified performance data to determine whether the user has achieved a training goal within the medical simulation. The training goal is intended to improve a medical skill of the user.

(canceled)
A method of assessing an interpersonal interaction between a first user and a second user, comprising:
- capturing, via a first input device, user input from the first user, wherein the first input device includes an audio input device to capture verbal input and an imaging input device to capture non-verbal input, and wherein the user input from the first user comprises a plurality of emotional components and a plurality of cognitive components of the first user's participation in the interpersonal interaction;
- capturing, via a second input device, user input from the second user, wherein the second input device includes an audio input device to capture verbal input and an imaging input device to capture non-verbal input, and wherein the user input from the second user comprises a plurality of emotional components and a plurality of cognitive components of the second user's participation in the interpersonal interaction;
- using a computer operably coupled to both the first input device and the second input device to assess an aspect of the second user's participation in the interpersonal interaction using the captured user input from the first user and the captured user input from the second user;
- and
- providing feedback to the first user regarding the aspect of the second user's participation in the interpersonal interaction.
A system for assessing an interpersonal interaction between a first user and a second user, the system comprising:
- a first input device configured to capture user input from the first user, wherein the first input device includes an audio input device to capture verbal input and an imaging input device to capture non-verbal input, and wherein the user input from the first user comprises a plurality of emotional components and a plurality of cognitive components of the first user's participation in the interpersonal interaction;
- a second input device configured to capture user input from the second user, wherein the second input device includes an audio input device to capture verbal input and an imaging input device to capture non-verbal input, and wherein the user input from the second user comprises a plurality of emotional components and a plurality of cognitive components of the second user's participation in the interpersonal interaction;
- and
- an assessment processor configured to receive as input the captured user input from the first user and the captured user input from the second user, to assess an aspect of the second user's participation in the interpersonal interaction using the captured user input from the first user and the captured user input from the second user, and to provide feedback to the first user regarding the aspect of the second user's participation in the interpersonal interaction.
