Exploration on the role-play of medical students as standardized patients

Abstract

Utilizing standardized patient （ SP ） for classroom simulation is common in current medical education. In this paper, incentive measures and combin/ition of SP with theoretical examination, simulated people and clinical practice were proposed after in-depth analysis of advantages and disadvan- tages of using medical students as SP in terms of recruitment, training, and application. All these mea- sures were intended to promote the development of simulative medical education that in turn to cultivate students to be competent in practice.
