ObjectiveTo discuss the feasibility and importance of the application of the chronic respiratory patients as the standardized patients ( short for SP ) in the respiratory medicine clinical internship. MethodsThe experimental group ( 27 ) and control group ( 24 ) of the 2004 undergraduate interns were formed. The chronic respiratory patients were trained as the SP, which are used in clinical internship education to evaluate the teaching effectiveness.ResultsThe examination scores of SP group were compared with the control group with the result of SP group ( 9.02 ± 0.13 ) and the control group ( 5.34 ± 2.35 )in humanistic care and communication skills, SP group ( 18.62 ± 1.06 )and the control group ( 13.16 ±5.36 ) in history taking, SP group ( 19.66 ± 1.22 ) and the control group ( 14.35 ± 3.57 ) in physical examination; SP group ( 37.88 ± 2.11 ) and the control group ( 31.68 ± 6.42 )in medical records analysis capacity, all of them having significant difference P＜0.01. ConclusionThe chronic respiratory patients as the SP which are applied to clinical internship will improve the effectiveness of clinical internship and bring broad application foreground of medical education.
