“…The programmed patient is a normal individual who is taught to simulate every aspect of a patient's illness in a totally consistent manner. Actors and actresses are mentioned by some investigators as good subjects for the patient roles (Barrow & Abrahamson, 1964;Davis et al, 1985;Lamont & Hennen, 1972;Meadow & Hewit, 1972;O'Hagan, Davies & Pears, 1986). The goal most educators have in mind when training actors and actresses to function as simulated patients is to develop a resource of experienced individuals who are available to serve in OSCEs when needed.…”

Third and fourth year medical students were recruited to participate as simulated patients and examiners in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) administered for second year medical students. Students reported they were motivated to participate, not only by the honorarium, but because they believed the OSCE would be f u n and interesting and because they were interested in medical education and in improving clinical evaluation. The third and fourth year medical students benefitted academically and financially fiom participation. Faculty benefitted by having a readily available source of enthusiastic and knowledgeable simulated patients.

“…For example, the Canadian Certi fi cation in Family Medicine nationwide licensing exam ( www.cfpc.ca/FMExam/ ) was initiated already in 1970 (Lamont and Hennen 1972 ) and was delivered in English and French from the start. Since OSCEs originated in the UK, Commonwealth connections and United Nations grants fostered the initial dissemination around the globe.…”

“…Standardized patients have been increasingly accepted by medical educators since the 1970s, and, during the 1980s their use was expanded from skill preparation to skill evaluation (Lamont & Hennen, 1972;Lloyd, Reed, Simonton, & Sherman, 1990;Simek-Downing, Quirk, & Letendre, 1986;Stillman & Swanson, 1987). Barrows (Barrows & Abrahamson, 1964) noted that, in addition to eliminating problems with training, SPs eliminated difficulties with evaluation of the clinical skills of medical students.…”

The gap betwccn classroom prcparation and field performance continues to be a major problem to social work educators. "Standardized Clients" (SCs) have been accepted by medical educators since the 1970s but have not becn systematically integrated into social work education. This paper advocates the feasibility and effectivcncss of using SCs, in both the education and evaluation of social work students, and in a wide variety of applications, thereby significantly strengthening competency-based, direct practice training in Schools of Social Work. SCs are nonprofessionals trained to simulatc a wide range of physical signs, emotions and affect, symptoms and behaviors, and able to recall a breadth of scripted medical, psychiatric, and social information with a high degree of realism. Thcy can provide behavior-based evidence, frec of the potential for risk to "real" clients, that skills have been mastered. We are proposing that this incthod of instruction and evaluation is eminently suited to the goals and objectives of social work education as a means of providing students with opportunities to practice their interviewing and assessment skills prior to contact with clients in thc field.
