    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Healthcare Simulation
    • Simulation-Based Learning

    Background:

    • The acronym "SP" in simulation-based education lacks consistent definition, variously meaning standardized patient, simulated patient, simulated participant, or simulated person.
    • Historical analysis reveals the evolution of SP terminology from "programmed patient" to current usage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To trace the historical evolution of "SP" terminology in simulation-based education.
    • To examine the implications of different SP definitions for educational practice.
    • To propose greater consistency in SP terminology.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical review of "SP" terminology in simulation-based education.
    • Philosophical and literary analysis of terms like "standardized," "simulated," "participant," and "person."
    • Examination of contemporary usage in resources like the Healthcare Simulation Dictionary.

    Main Results:

    • The term "SP" has multiple interpretations, impacting fairness, assessment, psychological safety, and educational intent.
    • Tensions exist between the need for reproducibility and the concept of personhood in SP roles.
    • Appropriate terminology differs for formative versus summative simulation contexts.
    • The rise of AI-generated simulated participants presents new terminological challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • Inconsistent "SP" terminology can hinder shared understanding and trust within the simulation community.
    • Intentional and consistent use of SP terminology across educational settings is recommended.
    • Clarifying terminology is essential for the integrity and effectiveness of simulation-based education.
