Summary. A natural language, free enquiry patient simulation of high fidelity has been developed using low cost microcomputer technology. The simulation is flexible, portable, responsive to individual student needs, and does not require computer literacy. The design is based on the principles of problem‐based self‐directed learning. The simulation is useful in individual and group learning and evaluation of data management and clinical reasoning skills.
