  • Title: Using patient-generated cases to teach students skills in responding to patients' emotions.
    Author: Rosenbaum ME, Ferguson KJ.
    Journal: Med Teach; 2006 Mar; 28(2):180-2. PubMed ID: 16707301.
    Abstract:
    Responding to patients' emotions has been identified as a core skill in medical interviewing. To give medical students realistic practice in responding to patients' emotions, an exercise was initiated in which simulated patient (SP) cases were developed in collaboration with SPs. Small groups were visited by two SPs, who portray emotional scenarios based on symptoms for which they had previously sought a doctor's care or considered seeking care. SPs also identified circumstances that would provoke emotional reactions for their case. Students and facilitators rated this activity highly. Benefits included more realistic case portrayals, less training time for SPs and more efficient use of SPs.
