Abstract
A novel method was implemented in the Interprofessional education (IPE) program, which incorporated a Simulated-Avatar© case presentation preceding the virtual breakout segments. Simulated real-time clinical interactions replaced the in-person encounters, leading to the translation of the participants' basic science knowledge of pathophysiology and pharmacology (P&P) into effective treatment of the patient-avatar's condition.
