“…The challenge of providing ECE in the institution was briefly addressed in a previous article. 13 Only a few of the SPs provide feedback to students at the end of the encounter. The others are being trained to do so.…”

“…A room where objective structured clinical examinations can be conducted and the encounters can be video recorded and feedback provided to the students is available. 13 SP programs have been mentioned in the websites of some Caribbean medical schools but we could not come across published descriptions of these programs in the scientific literature. The small populations of many of theisland nations where these schools are located and the variety of languages spoken on the islands may be challenges in training SPs and in initiating and standardizing the program.…”

Objective: Standardized patients (SPs) are widely used in medical and other health professions education. At xxxx SPs have been used for teaching-learning and assessment of basic science medical students since January 2013. The opinion of SPs about their involvement in teaching-learning and assessment of students has been recently studied. The present study had the objective of studying student perception about various aspects of the program.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted towards end of March and beginning of April 2016. Student perception regarding the program was studied by noting their degree of agreement with a set of 25 statements. Free text comments were also obtained. Gender, nationality and semester of study of the respondents was noted. The total score was compared among different subgroups of respondents.Results: Ninety-eight of the 107 students (91.6%) participated. The mean ± SD total score was 92.33 ± 13.68 (maximum possible score being 125). The scores were significantly higher among first semester students compared to other semesters. Students agreed that interacting with SPs will prepare them for interacting with patients, for their licensing exams and improve their clinical skills. Students learn how to interact with persons from a different cultural background. Suggestions for further improvement were also obtained. Conclusions: The response rate was high and students’ perception of the SP program was positive. Our experiences would be of special interest to educators in other medical schools with small and/or new SP programs. Similar feedback could be obtained from other xxx schools with SP programs.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(5) 2016 102-107

“…Among the different methods used to partly address this are the use of local general practitioners and specialists and sixteen hours of observership at the local hospital (Shankar & Dwivedi, 2015). Standardized patients (SPs) are also widely used for both teaching-learning and assessment during the basic sciences.…”

“…These and other challenges in implementing the integrated curriculum and possible solutions have been discussed in a recent article (Shankar, 2014). Standardized patients are widely used for both teaching-learning and assessment at the institution (Shankar & Dwivedi, 2015). A medical humanities module is offered to all first semester medical students and student feedback about the module has been positive (Shankar et al, 2016a).The teaching-learning of behavioral sciences has been strengthened.…”

Introduction: Patients seem increasingly to be in favor of taking a more active role in the patient-doctor relationship. Increasing education and the rising prevalence of chronic and lifestyle diseases require patients to take more responsibility for their health. The present study was conducted among basic science students at a private medical school in Aruba, Dutch Caribbean using the well validated patient-practitioner orientation scale (PPOS) to obtain information on student attitudes toward the patient-doctor-relationship and study whether the attitudes were associated with demographic characteristics.
