Article Synopsis
- Recent changes in psychiatric education limit direct patient interaction for medical students, but simulation-based learning can help bridge this gap.
- The study involved 81 students participating in simulations, with in-depth interviews conducted to analyze their learning experiences.
- Key findings revealed themes around understanding psychiatric concepts, incorporating personal insights into learning, and enhancing practical skills, highlighting the importance of realistic simulations to build student confidence and challenge biases towards mental health issues.
