Filling out a simulated patient evaluation

Step 1: Start the evaluation

Complete the form for every simulated patient evaluation. Evaluators also score the learning objectives configured for the student’s cohort. Those objectives may include the built-in Assessment, Treatment, and Management objectives or objectives created by the program.

Note

If you’re unsure how to start a simulated patient evaluation, see our articles on evaluating another student and submitting a personal simulated patient evaluation.

The example uses EMCE’s built-in objectives. Your program’s section names and contents may differ.

Step 2: Document the patient encounter

Your program controls how patient-care-report fields are grouped under the learning-objective sections. Complete every section shown in the evaluation.

1. Select the patient’s Age Group and Patient Contact Type.
2. Select the Simulation Topics, pathologies, or complaints that describe the patient.
3. Add one or more Skills that the student demonstrated while working with the patient.
   • To edit an individual skill, including rating individual skill steps, tap the name of the skill after you’ve added it.
   • For more information, see Filling Out a Skill Evaluation.
4. Add a Narrative that explains what the student did.
5. (Evaluators only) Score every learning objective shown. Base the score on the amount of assistance the student required. You can add comments for an objective and choose whether they are visible to the student.

For guidance on the colors and built-in objectives, see Learning objective scoring.

Step 3: Finish the evaluation
