Workshop Objectives
By the end of the workshop…
Discuss the rationale for the use of standardized patients
(SPs) in health professions education.
Describe the use of SPs in health professions education
for learner skill assessment.
Explain the process for developing an SP case.
Create an outline for a SP case for formative (teaching)
or summative (assessment) purposes.

Purposes of assessment
For the learner
Reinforce learning
Guide future learning
Determine readiness for advancement or practice
Earn a grade or a standing
For the program
Ensure high quality patient care
Inform decisions about advancement and selection
Improve the program

Assessment for Learning
An information-rich approach…to collect and combine information from various sources to inform about the strengths and weaknesses of each individual student, with the purpose to optimize their learning.
The central goal is not whether John is better than Jill or better than a cut score, but to determine whether John is maximally better today than he was yesterday, or whether Jill will be maximally better tomorrow than she is today.
Schuwirth, Med Teach 2011

Using SPs for Teaching Purposes
Practicing communication skills
• Breaking bad news
• Handling challenging patient interaction
• Addressing unprofessional behavior of colleagues
Assessing interprofessional interactions
Global health simulation

Hybrid (Patient-Focused) Simulations
Combines SPs with inanimate models
Used in procedural or surgical skills teaching
Adds the patient perspective to the simulation
Ex: SP plays a pregnant woman but a plastic pelvis/mannequin simulates the actual birthing process

Elements of a SP Case
What are the objectives of the case?
What is the level of the learner? (e.g. 1st year, 4th year, resident)
What is the context? (e.g. circumstances, background, setting)
Consider issues of diversity and inclusion
• Is the case inclusive?
• Does the case reinforce stereotypes?
• Who can accurately portray the role of the SP?
![Page 18: The Effective Use of Standardized Patients in Health](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012300/61e1663da3104241357c397a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Elements of a SP Case
Develop checklist OR rubric that is mapped to the case
objectives
• Checklist: YES or No answers
• Checklist: Global ratings
• Number of checklist items
