What makes a virtual human credible and acceptable? Do they provide
companionship that is similar to that of a person? More so, will it
ever replace that of a person? It is not the art of simply creating
a digital mockup of a human, but the art of creating an intelligent
conversational model that is woven into a virtual human to deliver
a personality and thought process; that truly raises the previous
questions. Furthermore, we cannot predict the future, but it is
simulation that can provide a picture of what the future may hold.
This concept of simulation allows a doctor to perform a clinical
skills interaction and a surgeon to perform a difficult procedure
as many times as it takes until they reach a particular defined
objective of proficiency. This is a capability that real life does
not, nor ever will, offer. Standardized Patients (SP)s are actors
who portray a patient to provide real life training to medical
students. The obstacle that is being faced is the lack of
standardization in the learning objectives and the quality of
acting in SPs. Simulation can provide a supplement to existing
training so that SPs may reach a higher level of competence; to in
turn provide the best and fairest learning experience for medical
students taking the Step 2cs exam. Several technical solutions,
techniques, scientific studies, medical focus groups, and schools
of thought are explored to assist in SP education throughout this
book. In addition, this detailed reference also provides a fresh
look to learning the fundamentals of clinical skills and
simulation.
