“…Meanwhile, video recording and written feedback or scoring were used as strategies to evaluate SP performance (15,16). The assessor can be either student, peer SP, faculty or selfassessment (14)(15)(16). SP performance can determine the success of the simulation session and can either destroy or enhance students' motivation in learning.…”

“…The overall mark of SP performance was high (from 7.5 to 8.0 on a 10-point scale). The reasons for a decrease by half point over the five-year period may be due to being less strict in the criteria for selection and recruitment process as well as the increase in the number of performances per day (14). Another study that focused on a training approach to enhance SP performance involved students, peer SP, tutor, and self to evaluate the authenticity of role play clinical skills, development of own clinical reasoning skills, understand patient-doctor relationship, particularly in understanding the real patients' feelings and problems, increased awareness of ethical, social, and cultural issues.…”

“…The outcome was positive on the authenticity of the SP encounter (e.g. mistaken SP as a real patient) (14). A systemic review paper stated that role developed based on SPs' personal experience and inclusive of personal data into the role potentially increased the realism as well as enhanced accuracy and consistency (7).…”

BACKGROUND Simulated patient (SP) is defined as a trained individual who portrays the role of a patient with various health associated conditions. The term SP also refers to a healthy individual trained to portray a patient. Another definition has described SP as a layperson who simulates as a real patient based on differing levels of training (1-3). Combining these descriptions, SP can be defined as a layperson who simulates to portray the role of a patient with healthrelated conditions based on varying levels of training. SP can be interchangeably used with role player, trained patient, patient instructor, and actor-patient. SP can also play a variety of roles along the educational path for To cite this article: Goh L-K, Yee B-L.

“…These interactions are designed to provide students with clinical experiences as well as individualized, developmentally sequenced assessment of clinical skills [7]. Students and faculty participating in a four-encounter LSP program in the Netherlands rated their program favorably on the authenticity of the experience and similarity of LSPs to real patients [8]. One study describing the integration of an LSP program into a family medicine clerkship reported increased student confidence in managing chronic disease and establishing relationships [9].…”

Background: Longitudinal standardized patient (LSP) experiences mimic clinical practice by allowing students to interact with standardized patients (SPs) over time. LSP cases facilitate practice, assessment, and feedback in clinical skills and foster an appreciation for the continuum of care.Objective: We sought to characterize the nature of relationship-building, feedback, and continuity among all stakeholders participating in a single LSP program.Design: We developed and implemented a novel LSP program. Students encountered two LSP characters six times each during the first 2 years of medical school, though continuity pairings of students, SPs, and faculty were frequently not possible. Focus groups were held with second-year medical students (N = 15), core faculty who coached these students in LSP encounters (N = 8), and SPs who had played the role of either LSP character (N = 10) participated. Results were analyzed thematically using a template analysis approach.Results: The longitudinal nature of the experience reinforced the importance of student growth over time, the key role of faculty and SPs in providing feedback, and the tension between feedback and assessment. Students reported that LSP cases encouraged practice and feedback. SPs felt wedded to the longitudinal characters. Continuity pairings were recommended by all stakeholders to increase authenticity and promote relationship-building.Conclusion: Stakeholders observed that the LSP cases brought some sense of continuity missing in other clinical skills encounters which helped prepare students for patient care. Continuity pairings of students, faculty, and SPs were recommended to enhance relationship-building and feedback.

ObjectiveTo assess if data collected by a consumer organisation are valid for a health service research study on physicians' performance in preventive care. To report first results of the analysis of physicians performance like consultation time and guideline adherence in history taking.DesignSecondary data analysis of a clustered cross-sectional direct observation survey.SettingGeneral practitioners (GPs) in Vienna, Austria, visited unannounced by mystery shoppers (incognito standardised patients (ISPs)).Participants21 randomly selected GPs were visited by two different ISPs each. 40 observation protocols were realised.Main outcome measuresRobustness of sampling and data collection by the consumer organisation. GPs consultation and waiting times, guideline adherence in history taking.ResultsThe double stratified random sampling method was robust and representative for the private and contracted GPs mix of Vienna. The clinical scenarios presented by the ISPs were valid and believable, and no GP realised the ISPs were not genuine patients. The average consultation time was 46 min (95% CI 37 to 54 min). Waiting times differed more than consultation times between private and contracted GPs. No differences between private and contracted GPs in terms of adherence to the evidence-based guidelines regarding history taking including questions regarding alcohol use were found. According to the analysis, 20% of the GPs took a perfect history (95% CI 9% to 39%).ConclusionsThe analysis of secondary data collected by a consumer organisation was a valid method for drawing conclusions about GPs preventive practice. Initial results, like consultation times longer than anticipated, and the moderate quality of history taking encourage continuing the analysis on available clinical data.
