Impact of simulated patient-based communication training vs. real patient-based communication training on empathetic behaviour in undergraduate students – a prospective evaluation study
The results demonstrate a significant lower external empathy rating for students who had trained with a real patient or if they were in the belief of having encountered a real patient; this may be due to inhibitions and a lack of routine. Therefore, we recommend implementing SPs in the early study period with the gradual integration of RPs in the student's further course of study.
