Summary

Standardized patients (SPs) accurately assess student performance, showing high agreement with faculty scorers. This supports SPs as a feasible and cost-effective method for evaluating clinical skills.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Simulation
  • Assessment Methods

Background:

  • Standardized patients (SPs) are crucial for accurate student performance assessment.
  • Evaluating the reliability of SP scoring compared to faculty is essential for assessment validity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the agreement level between standardized patients (SPs) and faculty in scoring student performance.
  • To assess the accuracy and feasibility of using SPs for evaluating clinical skills.

Main Methods:

  • SPs completed checklists immediately after student interactions.
  • Faculty reviewed videotapes of selected interactions and completed identical checklists.
  • Agreement scores between SPs and faculty were calculated for overall, interpersonal, and technical skills.

Main Results:

  • Overall agreement between SPs and faculty ranged from 81% to 92% (mean 86%).
  • Interpersonal skills agreement was 78%-97%; technical skills agreement was 82%-89%.
  • Agreement improved in later interactions, with discrepancies often due to SPs over-crediting students.

Conclusions:

  • SPs demonstrate good agreement with faculty in scoring student performance.
  • SPs are accurate, cost-effective, and feasible tools for assessing specific student clinical skills.
  • The use of SPs in medical education assessments is well-supported by this study's findings.
