A comparative study of medical students’ satisfaction towards learning between standardized patient and regular general patient treatment in the instruction provided at the Otolaryngology Outpatient Clinic, Phramongkutklao College of Medicine

Abstract

Background: Currently, the instruction of 4th year medical students involves learning from general patients who walk in to OPD ENT but is limited by the number of patients. Therefore, a concept was created to study volunteers or standardized patients and assess the medical students' satisfaction level. Both methods comprised differing advantages and disadvantages without any previous study.
