A Simulated Couple Aging Across the Four Years of Medical School

Abstract

Aging Couple Across the Curriculum allowed the interweaving of multiple issues that are characteristic of many geriatric cases. Students were able to see the complexity of issues and the impact on other family members.

Teaching Resident Physicians Chronic Disease Management: Simulating a 10-Year Longitudinal Clinical Experience With a Standardized Dementia Patient and Caregiver

“…17,18 A study of an intervention using an unfolding SP case across 4 years of medical school elicited positive ratings from students; however, no data exist for the value of such an experience for residents. 19 Our educational intervention's blend of a simulated 10-year clinical experience with an SP and caregiver to teach geriatric competencies with the provision of formative feedback to resident physicians on communication skills is unique in the literature.…”

21st century medical education

“…54 Simulation tools include computer-based systems, 55,56 manikins 57 and biometric body parts for practice of invasive procedures, 58 and actors playing the role of patients to provide both training and assessment. 59 Patient simulation is used to some extent in virtually all Australian curricula.…”

The longitudinal simulated patient program: evaluations by teachers and students and feasibility

“…Evaluations of students with regard to the longitudinal SP encounters were generally positive (Brown et al 2003;Rull et al 2006). None of the studies have compared student evaluations regarding longitudinal SP encounters with those regarding single-case SP encounters.…”

“…Few studies have focused on longitudinal SP encounters to prepare students for continuity of care (Slavin et al 1995;Wilkes et al 1998;Brown et al 2003;Rull et al 2006). Evaluations of students with regard to the longitudinal SP encounters were generally positive (Brown et al 2003;Rull et al 2006).…”
