In medical education, patient simulation is "the use of persons coached to feign symptoms or conditions of real diseases in a life-like manner in order to teach or evaluate medical personnel."[1]

Unannounced standardized patients

Unannounced standardized patients have been validated by various methods.[2][3][4][5]

Physicians may detect unannounced standardized patients.[6]

The role of unannounced standardized patients has been systematically reviewed.[7]

Unannounced standardized patients have been used to evaluate the performance of physicians in practice.[8] However, the evidence base for the standards of care the physicians are compared to is not always clear.[9]
