Creation of Simulation Scenario Programs to Enable Performance Evaluation from Patient Communication to Physical Assessment in Pharmacy Education

Abstract

The utilization of simulation materials has been explicitly recommended in the " Guidelines for Practical Clinical Training" corresponding to the Model Core Curriculum for Pharmaceutical Education (2022 revision). In this study, we developed scenario programs that consistently support performance assessment from communication with patients to physical assessment using a hybrid simulator for multidisciplinary cooperation. The scenario program consists of 10 cases, enabling instructors to objectively assess learners’ skills and allowing learners to reflect on their own skills based on the assessment results.
