Medical students improved inter-physician communication skills using the Dynamic Patient Simulator (DPS). Students reported positive usability and satisfaction with this novel training method, now integrated into curricula.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Physician communication is vital in modern medicine.
  • Dutch medical curricula lack specific inter-physician communication training.
  • A project utilized the Dynamic Patient Simulator (DPS) to address this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Dynamic Patient Simulator (DPS) for training inter-physician communication skills.
  • To assess medical students' self-perceived improvement in communication after using DPS.
  • To gauge student usability and satisfaction with the DPS educational tool.

Main Methods:

  • Developed 20 asynchronous patient simulations in DPS for 134 medical students.
  • Students collaborated remotely, reporting findings and treatment plans via electronic referral forms.
