“…Of these studies, 5 were conducted in the USA [17][18][19][20][21] or Canada [22][23][24][25][26] while one study was a systematic review from multiple countries [12]. The remaining four studies originated in New Zealand [27], Africa [28] and The Netherlands [29,30]. Eleven studies identified the health professional group to which the learner belonged.…”

“…SP participant numbers ranged from four to twenty-four. Ten studies either did not specifically identify gender of the children or adolescent SPs or employed both males and females [12, 17-21, 24-26, 28], three studies focused solely on females [22,23,27] and two studies included a small number of males through convenience rather than planning [29,30]. SPs were recruited from an existing database, following contact with a local community theatre or drama group or from faculty willing to involve their own children.…”

“…ASPs involved in risk-taking, sexuality or mental health scenarios acknowledge a transient negative or discomfort reaction, however there is no evidence to support the presence of long-term adverse effects. The addition of appropriate selection, training, support and debriefing strategies can also serve to ameliorate any deleterious effects (18,24,25,26,30]. In the decision making process, the risk/harm to benefit ratio must be carefully balanced to ensure the possibility of harm does not outweigh the benefits of involvement.…”

Simulated patients (SP) contribute to health professional education for communication, clinical skills teaching, and assessment. Although a significant body of literature exists on the involvement of adult SPs, limited research has been conducted on the contribution of children and adolescents. This systematic review, using narrative summary with thematic synthesis, aims to report findings related to children/adolescents as simulated patients in health professions education (undergraduate or postgraduate). A systematic review of qualitative and quantitative literature published between 1980 and September 2014 was undertaken using databases including CINAHL, Ovid Medline and Scopus. The lack of literature related to the employment of children and adolescents in nursing education dictated the expansion of the search to the wider health professions. Key search terms related to the employment of children and adolescents in health professional education programs. A total of 58 studies reduced to 36 following exclusion based on abstract review. Twenty-two studies reached full text review; following application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 English language studies involving children and/or adolescents in simulation formed part of this systematic review. Five key themes emerged: Process related to recruitment, duration and content of training programs, support and debriefing practice, ethical considerations, and effects of participation for key stakeholders such as children and adolescents, parent and faculty, and learner outcomes. The results suggest that the involvement of children and adolescents in simulation for education and assessment purposes is valuable and feasible. The review identified the potential for harm to children/adolescents; however, rigorous selection, training and support strategies can mitigate negative outcomes. The ability of children to portray a role consistently across assessments, and deliver constructive feedback remains ambiguous.

ObjectiveContraception use, undesired pregnancy, and abortion care are common medical experiences that most physicians will encounter for their patients. Future physicians should therefore have some formal education on these topics. In this narrative review, we focused on how medical education approaches these sometimes polarizing yet fundamental topics.MethodsWe assessed the published literature on sexual and reproductive health education in undergraduate medical education from 2000 to 2021, screening 868 articles and including 52 articles. We included articles that discussed contraception, emergency contraception, pregnancy options counseling, abortion, and ethics related to sexual and reproductive health.ResultsIncluded studies came from 14 countries and described both preclinical and clinical education. Studies assessed medical student knowledge, the effectiveness of educational interventions and medical school faculty perspectives on sexual and reproductive health curricula. Medical educators have employed a variety of approaches to teach sexual and reproductive health including simulation, objective structured clinical examinations, team‐based learning, narrative medicine, online modules, and flipped classrooms.ConclusionStudents generally received sexual and reproductive health education favorably, demonstrating increased knowledge and comfort with these topics after an education session. Studies also identified curricular gaps and deficiencies in student knowledge, which may indicate a need for improved and consistent medical school education on contraception and abortion.

The Case of “Miss Jacobs”: Adolescent Simulated Patients and the Quality of Their Role Playing, Feedback, and Personal Impact

Abstract: Generally, students and teachers were satisfied with the quality of the role playing and feedback provided by the adolescent SPs. The adolescent SPs experienced no negative effects related to their performance, which confirms earlier findings among adolescent standardized patients.
