STANDARDIZED PATIENT
UNIT

INTRODUCTION

The UKM Faculty of Medicine launched the Standard Patient Program in early 2007 for the purpose of learning and examination of medical students. These standard patients are involved in clinical teaching and self-development and professionalism. With the help of standard patients students are trained to take patient histories, conduct physical examinations, and communicate with standard patients. The main goal of the program is to train students to become more sensitive doctors or paramedics and respect the patient’s wishes, ability, ethics, and professionalism. Standardized patient or SP (Standardized patient) is an individual trained to carry the character as a real patient. He will bring a specific and consistent character in each of his acting scenarios. This standard patient is important in the context of the learning and examination of medical and health science students. The use of this SP has been widespread in many medical faculties around the world. It provides an opportunity for medical and health science students to interact with real patients just as their future duties as a medical and health practitioner.
