Comparison of the effects of simulated patient clinical skill training and student roleplay on objective structured clinical examination performance among medical students in Australia

We performed a retrospective, quasi-experimental study of 2 second-year medical student cohorts’ OSCE data in Australia. The 2014 cohort received RP-only CST (student roleplay) (N=182) while the 2016 cohort received SP-only CST (simulated patient) (N=148).

本研究针对澳大利亚两届二年级医学生队列的客观结构化临床考试（Objective Structured Clinical Examination，OSCE）数据开展回顾性准实验研究。2014年队列仅接受学生角色扮演（Student Roleplay，RP）式临床技能培训（Clinical Skills Training，CST），纳入样本量182例；2016年队列仅接受标准化病人（Standardized Patient，SP）式临床技能培训，纳入样本量148例。
