WesternU Online supports innovative, challenging, engaging instruction and practice through the use of video, multimedia, and gamified learning treatments. Whether provided within a fully online program, a component of a hybrid or campus-based program, or designed for continuing education, our goal is to connect with students. We aim to deliver online learning solutions that capture students\u2019 interests, motivate them to participate, deepen their understanding, enhance their skills, and make learning an enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n

For a highlight of WesternU Online, below are images from course treatments created in partnership with the College of Podiatric Medicine (CPM). These include coursework in the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine program, the DPM Advanced Standing program, board review preparation, and continuing education.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

    The VDO is a virtual patient simulation platform built in partnership with the College of Podiatric Medicine. Students, playing the character of the doctor, learn their patient\u2019s history, conduct physical exams, order labs and imaging, and ultimately make diagnoses and order treatments. They then receive a detailed analysis related to their treatment decisions and faculty can truly assess a student’s clinical decision making.<\/p>\n <\/blockquote>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n
