Study Population

Undeclared Standardized patient (USP) usually refers to a teaching tool used in medical education and training. These standardized patients are trained actors who simulate the conditions, symptoms, and emotional responses of real patients to help physicians improve their clinical skills. In the "undeclared" scenario, these standardized patients may not reveal their identity at the outset, but participate in training or evaluation as real patients, allowing medicine to diagnose and treat without prior preparation. This approach can more realistically simulate the clinical environment and help improve clinical thinking skills, communication skills and understanding of patients. It is expected that 10 research assistants will be included for USP training.
