Outline of Final Research Achievements

【Objective】: Peer role-play generally uses scenarios which have the limitation of reality. The aim of this study is to explore how the real patients’cases with which medical students encountered in outpatient clinical clerkship affect a peer role-play to learn patients' perspectives.【Methods】: We conducted twelve focus groups after the training session and analyzed qualitatively.【 Results】: Students who were role-playing patients reflected on their interview in the outpatient practice deeply, comparing the interviews of the role-play with their own interviews. The profound reflection fostered the students’ understanding about communication skills, and the significant understanding about medical communication was shared with other students through discussions.
