Integration of standardized patients into simulation.
Standardized participants (SPs) can greatly enhance high-fidelity simulation. The educational experience becomes more realistic than by simply using a simulator. There is very limited literature about the use of SPs with high-fidelity simulation. This article provides an overview of SP methodology and offers suggestions for integrating SPs into medical simulation scenarios.
