title: Performance and perception in a simulated clinical encounter.
abstract: The feasibility of using data arising from a simulated patient encounter to determine the nature of the relationship between patient satisfaction and examinee performance during a clinical examination is explored. Satisfaction (on dimensions of sensitivity, participation and thoroughness) is shown to be related to aspects of the physical examination and the history taking.
