Popis: A knowledge-based tutorial computer system in rheumatology had been integrated in a standard course of internal medicine for students in their fourth year of medical curriculum. The tutoring software is based on the expert-system shell-toolkit D3 and its tutorial component D3Trainer. Based on the knowledge base “Rheuma”, which is also used for consultation, the “Rheumatrainer” is generated with the D3Trainer. The students visit the course two weeks in groups of two or three twice a week. After taking the medical history from patients, students turn to the tutorial programm “Rheumatrainer” for other parts of the diagnostic process for training of the ensuing diagnostic work up. Using the software, students learn recognition and interpretation of symptoms and findings, indication of further tests and deduction of diagnoses in a trial-and-error environment while the system is able to criticize all decisions of the student.
