Abstract
Introduction: Providing effective patient care requires empathy; however, current methods for teaching and evaluating empathetic skills are limited. We have created a virtual patient (VP) to teach health professions students history-taking and examination skills (H&P). Previously, students have been shown to respond empathetically to VPs. Our purpose was to determine if an innovative feedback system permitting role reversal (RR) could influence self-assessment and improve empathy. Methods: Participants performed a breast H&P on a mixed reality human (MRH, a life-sized VP with a mannequin-based breast simulator).
