Introduction: Research has shown that although “Electronic Learning Approach” has played an important role in educational systems related to different industries and various scientific domains in the past decade and accepted by teachers and students, but it is not satisfactory in teaching Medicine domain. Refusing to use patient simulation systems in learning management system is the leading cause of this problem. The aim of this study is to evaluate the electronic learning components and strengths and weaknesses of virtual education to implement patient simulation and present a model consist of required components in order to implement patient simulation system. Methodology: In order to obtain components associated with E-learning models and various types of patient simulation systems, after carrying out a thorough search in books and accredited articles, resources analyzing and classifying procedures were accomplished in a scientific manner. Finally, Parsian model was delivered in order to implement patient simulation system. Discussion: Parsian Model provides powerful tools and techniques in three groups including: 1.software, 2. Techniques and Methods, 3. Medical Equipment, in order to implement patient simulation system in virtual education environment. It should be noted that in order to equip virtual education environment, medical informatics industry professionals can access to the tools of each group. Conclusion: The main reason of failure in the previous models of electronic learning in implementing patient simulation systems is non-referring to implementation tools which can lead to necessary results. It is anticipated that the real and achievable tools mentioned in Parsian model can implement all types of patient simulation.
