Abstract:
1) This study involved an educational evaluation of preclinical practice with simulated patients (SPs) by students in the departments of nursing, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. The scores were highly correlated with the usefulness of SPs, the conviction and the realism of the performances of SPs, and feedback from SPs. Students required SPs to accurately mimic symptoms and to give them critical feedback. Follow-up sessions are required regarding performance as SPs.
2) Preclinical practice with SPs helped students grasp the reality of practice, enhance preparations, and help them recognize their role as professionals based on feedbacks from SPs.
