| Research Abstract |
Our research group was organized with the aim of introducing the educational resource "Simulated Patient" which is useful for medical professionals and students to learn to communicate with patients. In order to diffuse this method, we carried the following out.
1. We collected much literature on the training and utilization of "Simulated Patient". Referring these products, we reviewed our curricula for training of simulated patients and methods to utilize them in educational events.
2. We held the explanatory meetings for volunteers for simulated patients twice, and eighty citizens took part in them.
3. Adding to ten simulated patients who had been trained before, we trained twenty volunteers to become simulated patients.
4. We wrote eighty scenarios for simulated patents to play.
5. Utilizing these simulated patients, we held educatinal events (e.g. ; seminar, workshop, and special lecture) more than one hundred times. In each events, from four to one hundred participants were trained to recognize the importance of communication with patients. Participants were medical students, medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, home helpers, and so on.
6. In a part of these events, we used three or five (more than usual) simulated patients to make it possible that a lot of participants experienced the role plays with simulated patients.
7. In almost all of these events, we used video recorder to make it easy for participants to do self-assessments for their role plays with simulated patients.
8. We also introduced these educational resources to the teachers of educational institutes.
9. We reported these activities at the anual meetings of the Japan Society for Medical Education.
