Abstract

As a new medical education model, standardized patient (SP) has been applied in the field of medical education teaching and evaluation for decades in foreign countries, but it is still in its infancy in China. Standardized patient teaching model has been introduced into the teaching of talent training for medical students in some domestic medical colleges and has been used in teaching practice and achieved good teaching effect. In view of the characteristics of China's national conditions and the actual teaching situation, the standardized patients teaching model was further considered to explore a more suitable medical teaching model for China's national conditions.
