In today's medical education curriculum, it is necessary for
students to learn the proper techniques for taking medical
histories, performing physical exams, and the appropriate way to
educate and inform patients. The best way for a student to learn
these skills is through hands-on training with a Standardized
Patient (SP) - an actor who has been hired to portray a specific
set of health problems and symptoms. This type of training allows
students to grasp concepts more quickly and enables faculty
physicians to directly observe student's progress and asses their
need for further instruction. Working with SP's has become so
important in medical education that it is now a component of the
USMLE clinical skills assessment exam. As with any tool that is
used for teaching, assessment, and certification, it is easier to
provide the best service when there are general guidelines for
preparers to follow. The coaches who prepare SP's are no exception
and there needs to be a guide for those who train SP's for their
roles in new doctor education. This handbook is intended as that
guide and as a support for those who are involved in training
Standardized Patients, from the art of coaching through preparing
SP's for the physical exam, to encourage each coach to develop a
system that will deliver the best results and, in the end, help
train the most competent doctors.
Identifying the medical treatment guidelines that determine the
appropriateness of treatment for California workers1 compensation
recipients. Provides an evaluation of medical guidelines that might
be used to determine the appropriateness of treatment for
work-related injuries in California. Of 72 guideline sets that were
identified and screened, five comprehensive sets were found to
satisfy the legislative requirements and state preferences. Based
on results of a comparative evaluation of the technical quality and
clinical content of the five guideline sets, recommendations are
given for actions the state might take in the short term,
intermediate term, and longer term.
