‘Acting it out really makes it stick in your brain’: Educating students for patient portrayal during peer simulation
Immersion in accurate patient portrayal is supported by multi-modal, scaffolded education. Whilst both education approaches had similar efficacy, delivery of structured, tutor-guided education for patient portrayal was valued by students. Similar to SP methodology, educators should provide videos, tutor-led group rehearsal, and feedback to guide performance, encourage patient portrayal accuracy, and promote role immersion.
