It is predicted that in the near future robot simulated patients (SPs) will come into use. Through the impressions of five SPs about robot SPs, we explored their vision of the future of medical education as an indicator of what ordinary citizens think. The opinions of SPs were collected using a semi-structured focus group interview, after which the perspectives provided were explored using a qualitative research method called Steps for Coding and Theorization (SCAT). Although SPs accepted the introduction of robot SPs, they regard them as potential substitutes. The use of robot SPs raised concerns about the level of response to human diversity and the level of emotional intelligence. The problem of how much diversity among patients and doctors is acceptable in the field of education was identified. On the part of citizens, there is not much expectation that artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to sophisticated machines capable of human conversation. However, looking ahead to the AI era, real SPs anticipate that, along with the evolution of AI, the next generation of SPs will have thought deeply about their role within a program employing both humans and robots.
据预测，在不久的将来，机器人模拟患者（SPs）将会投入使用。通过五位模拟患者对机器人模拟患者的印象，我们探究了他们对医学教育未来的展望，以此作为普通市民想法的一个指标。模拟患者的意见通过半结构化焦点小组访谈收集，之后使用一种名为编码与理论化步骤（SCAT）的定性研究方法来探究所提供的观点。尽管模拟患者接受机器人模拟患者的引入，但他们将其视为潜在的替代品。机器人模拟患者的使用引发了对人类多样性反应水平和情商水平的担忧。确定了在教育领域患者和医生之间的多样性可接受程度的问题。就市民而言，对人工智能（AI）能带来具备人类对话能力的复杂机器期望不高。然而，展望人工智能时代，真正的模拟患者预计，随着人工智能的发展，下一代模拟患者将深入思考他们在一个同时使用人类和机器人的项目中的角色。
