The Case for Visual Learning in Medical Education

Visual pattern matching is a proven innate human ability, with 65% of the population being visual learners. Visual clues are essential to accurate diagnoses, as half of all disease have a skin or pattern clue. So how do we most effectively teach students and residents to visually discern among common diagnoses, or diagnose a rare disease they have never seen?

VisualDx gives students, residents, and other health care professionals instant access to specialist knowledge and a logical method of clinical reasoning.
