Teaching Communication Using SP – The Use of Standardized Patients (SP) in Simulation-Based Medical Education
Abstract
The chapter introduces a new type of medical simulation methodology called the Standardized Patient (SP) that involves an amateur actor who plays the role of a patient. The MedExcellence Medical Simulation Center staff and trainers show how introducing SP into Lazarski University’s medical program benefits soft skills training among future healthcare providers. The interaction with a ‘live’ patient adds both realism and honesty to the educational experience because students receive genuine feedback from the amateur actor/patient.
