E-Learning applications such as electronic virtual patients (VPs) are an indispensable component of modern medical curricula. The eViP project is a 3-year programme co-funded by the European Union to create a bank of repurposed and enriched multicultural virtual patient cases from across Europe. One of the deliverables of this project is to implement the Med-Biquitous Virtual Patient (MVP) standard within the four included VP systems in order to support the exchange process. The linear learning system Casus® is part of eViP and has implemented an export and import functionality for MVP conformant VPs. The challenges we faced during implementation were the inclusion of assessment items - a crucial part of Casus cases - and the import of branched VPs without loss of information. The experiences and results of exchanging VPs based on the MVP specification will provide valuable information for future projects in this area.
