This study improved emergency medicine resident empathy by having them experience the emergency department (ED) from a patient

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Patient Experience

Background:

  • Residency programs aim to develop competent, empathetic physicians.
  • Traditional training may not fully instill patient perspective.
  • An exercise was designed to simulate patient visits for residents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a patient perspective exercise on resident empathy.
  • To evaluate the usefulness of the exercise in improving patient care attitudes.

Main Methods:

  • Emergency medicine residents participated in a simulated ED visit.
  • Participants received a clinical scenario and underwent triage.
  • Surveys measured empathy and perceived usefulness using a visual analog scale (VAS).

Main Results:

  • The exercise improved resident empathy (66 mm VAS) and was perceived as useful (50 mm VAS).
  • Participants reported a changed approach to patient care and felt it made them better physicians.
  • 92% of residents felt the exercise met its goals.

Conclusions:

  • Simulating an emergency department visit enhances resident empathy.
  • This educational intervention positively influences attitudes toward patient care.
