Netsim can fullfil the role of the virtual homework tester - providing anatomical skeleton maps, case studies, virtual patients as well as a great number of test questions in a wide variety of subjects. It could be argued that, from a Swedish point of view, the questions and training exercises are irrelevant since they do not follow the Swedish curriculum. However, we consider this an advantage as students are given an incentive to think for themselves and apply the knowledge that they have acquired. It is difficult to estimate whether this collection covers all areas but we strive to cover as wide a range as possible, entering all the good resources that are available. The resources available in Netsim are accessible in several ways.
All resources are searchable via the search option on the web site's first page.
The alphabet on the same page leads to a list sorted alphabetically by first letter. All resources are furthermore categorized according to subject. Each resource is indexed with between one to five controlled subject words from the MeSH vocabulary. The resources are also categorized according to type, for example, case studies, multiple choice and simulation. In those cases where resources are collected according to one subject such as pediatrics, we have chosen not to divide the collection but have instead indexed the collection as one resource.
