Validating simulated patient programmes in Obstetrics and Gynaecology education: a mixed-method study on training effectiveness and stakeholder perceptions in the GCC
The study confirms that structured training can effectively prepare simulated patients for OB-GYN education in GCC settings. By integrating stakeholder feedback, this study provides valuable insights for refining SP programmes and addressing region-specific challenges. A more culturally aware and well-supported SP programme can boost student confidence and improve learning outcomes in sensitive clinical areas like OB-GYN.
