Effects of Using Two or More Standardized Patients to Simulate the Same Case on Case Means and Case Failure Rates.

Colliver, Jerry R.; And Others

Journal of Academic Medicine, v66 n10 p616-18 Oct 1991

Case means and case failures in performance-based medical student evaluations were examined to evaluate the consistency of ratings made by two or more standardized patients (SPs) simulating the same case. Results demonstrate a need for caution in interpreting scores obtained from a case checklist completed by multiple SPs. (Author/MSE)
