Background & Aim: By replacing traditional teaching methods with modern educational approaches, medical education also requires transformation. This study aimed to design an interactive educational software atlas of breast diseases for medical students and assessing their perspectives and satisfaction.
Methods: This study was a design and development project aimed at stimulating clinical cases on both web and mobile devices. The designed atlas was provided to 20 clinical medical students from Jahrom University who were undergoing their surgical rotation. The students' perspectives were evaluated using a 10-question questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale, while their satisfaction was assessed on a 10-point scale.
Results: The highest percentage of respondents, ranging from 60 to 80 percent, rated the application's impact on learning and its applicability as excellent or good. 31.6 percent of students were completely satisfied with the designed atlas, while 73.7 percent of participants rated it 7 or higher. Additionally, the survey results revealed that 84.3 percent of students were highly satisfied, giving a score of 8 or above.
Conclusion: The breast disease atlas simulator has the potential to positively impact student learning and satisfaction. By utilizing this interactive atlas, which contains real content, as an effective educational tool, it can be applied in various fields, including medical education.
