AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of simulated and standardized patients (SPs) in healthcare communication training, as there was a lack of comprehensive literature on the different working formats of SPs.
- Members of a medical education group conducted a survey and held a workshop in Belgium and The Netherlands to gather information on the various SP formats being used in curricula.
- They identified 15 different SP working formats, with six being previously documented, and concluded that the choice of format depends on the learning objectives of the training session and the expertise available.
Article Abstract
Objective: Simulated and standardized patients (SPs) are increasingly being used in communication skills training for healthcare professionals' education. Despite this broad use of SPs, there is no recent literature with an overview on SP working formats being used. We ran a study to fill this gap.
Methods: First, a survey on formats on the use of SPs in various curricula for education of healthcare professionals in Belgium and The Netherlands was run by members of the Dutch Association of Medical Education Special Interest Group on Simulated and Standardized patients (SIG-NL/B). Then the SIG-NL/B organized a national workshop where professionals working with or interested in SPs were invited to come forward with SP working formats they used. They were also asked to provide relevant details about the use. Finally, the outcomes of these two phases were combined.
Results: Fifteen SP working formats were found. Six of them were described before. The details of all formats are listed and discussed.
Conclusion: We categorised 15 SP working formats. The choice to use a particular format is mainly based on the learning objectives of the session involved and the expertise at hand.

Childhood behavioral problems are common; despite evidence that parenting interventions improve outcomes, the use of these programs is limited. Virtual delivery may ameliorate attendance barriers, but little is known on the acceptability and feasibility of virtual group parenting interventions. This mixed-methods study explored the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the virtual delivery of a parenting intervention, Child Adult Relationship Enhancement in Primary Care (PriCARE) among 18 caregivers and 8 facilitators.

Nucleic acid detection is considered the golden standard for diagnosing infectious diseases caused by various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites. PCR and other amplification-based technologies are highly sensitive and specific, allowing for accurate detection and identification of low-level causative pathogens by targeting and amplifying their unique genetic segment (DNA or RNA). However, it is important to recognize that machinery-dependent diagnostic methods may only sometimes be available or practical in resource-limited settings, where direct implementation can be challenging.

Accessible vaccine information is one vital component of effective vaccination programs, however, there is limited research that explores how people with disabilities engage with public health messaging. This study aimed to understand how adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their caregivers navigated Canada's public health communications regarding COVID-19 vaccines. A national survey on the accessibility of vaccine information was conducted in the spring and summer of 2022.
