Description

A paper-pencil form developed for this study was completed by simulated patients after each formative interview. It "included the 5-item Jefferson Scale of Patient Perception of Physician Empathy (JSPPPE), a single item regarding general satisfaction with the communication, and the communication skills grid used during the OSCEs" with four items covering response to patient feelings and needs, interview structure, verbal expression, and non-verbal expression rated 1 to 5. Reusing the OSCE grid aligns the formative and exam rating schemes.
