Scenario Training:

  • Clinical scenarios are “critical” in training activities with standardized patients
  • Clinical scenarios hold educational purposes which students need to reach
  • Standardized patients need to play and portray exactly according to clinical scenarios
  • Scenarios-based standardized patients training is the most important activity which is carried out by CECICS faculty
  • Standardized patients require at least 4 hours of training for a simple clinical scenario which is for medical students year 2
  • Training session can be longer if the clinical scenario is complicated
