Abstract

OBJECTIVE

This study's primary aim is to assess the use of different types of standardized patients (SPs) during formative simulation activities on summative objective structured clinical exams (OSCE) in a PharmD curriculum.

METHODS

Randomized-controlled study with first-year pharmacy students in a Pharmacist Patient Care Lab (PCL) course. Students were randomized into groups with either hired actors or their peers as SPs for virtual simulation activities. All students then completed a virtual teaching OSCE (TOSCE) and virtual OSCE. A mixed effects analysis was done to compare TOSCE and OSCE scores between the two groups.

RESULTS

There were no significant differences between the two groups in their TOSCE or OSCE scores for the analytical and global rubrics.

CONCLUSION

This study demonstrates that peers may be as effective as having hired actors as SPs in preparing students for virtual skills exams.

摘要

目的

本研究的主要目的是评估在药剂学课程的总结性客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）中使用不同类型标准化患者（SP）进行形成性模拟活动的情况。

方法

在药剂师患者护理实验室（PCL）课程中对一年级药学专业学生进行随机对照研究。学生被随机分为两组，一组使用雇佣演员作为 SP 进行虚拟模拟活动，另一组则使用同伴作为 SP。所有学生都完成了虚拟教学 OSCE（TOSCE）和虚拟 OSCE。采用混合效应分析比较两组学生在 TOSCE 和 OSCE 分析和整体评分方面的差异。
