title: [The establishment of paired-standardized patients and its application in the PBL teaching of otorhinolaryngology].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the study is to explore the establishment of paired-standardized patients (PSPs), which can cover the deficiency of standardized patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  The outpatients and standardized patients consist of PSPs. The standard case of PSPs is established by the combination of PSPs and the laboratory and imaging information of the true patients. Then we apply the PBL model and PSPs to the clinic teaching in otorhinolaryngology.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The study of the ten standard cases of PSPs, which we have established, has enhanced the confidence and interest of medical students in clinical practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  PSPs can cover the deficiency of standardized patients, which includes lacking of change and lively. At the other hand, PSPs can practice the medical students' clinical skills and the way of evidence-based medicine and can stimulate them to form the good habit of self-regulated learning.
