Virtual Patients (VPs) are expensive to make from scratch. An attractive solution is to take those from one institution and transfer them to another. However, is it educationally feasible to simply translate the language of a VP from one country to another? The Repurposing Existing Virtual Patients (REViP) project between St George's, University of London and the University of Heidelberg has repurposed and content-enriched existing German VPs to English language, culture and pedagogy. These VPs were then embedded, tested and evaluated as core components within the paediatrics module and then ultimately made open to the wider community for free. The project has confirmed that repurposing and enriching is an effective way to share and reuse VPs as opposed to creating from scratch. However, much care should be taken to make the VPs suitable for the educational needs of the student, in their local context. This case study explores how the project was implemented and highlights the key outputs and conclusions.
