Standardized Patient: Ted Lee
University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine
Ted Lee was developed as part of a multi-station, standardized patient assessment. The student’s performance is measured by checklists filled out by the standardized patient and by the evaluation of responses to written questions on the interstation exercise. This Standardized Interdisciplinary Team Meeting scenario was developed as part of a multi-station, standardized patient assessment. The student’s performance is measured by checklists filled out by the standardized team members and by the evaluation of responses to written questions on the interstation exercise. It is designed to be the first of two consecutive stations used to assess interdisciplinary team skills. This patient is a 75 year old retired male who has been hospitalized for the last 3 days after a fall at home which resulted in a fracture of the right humeral shaft. Work up since admission was unremarkable. An orthopedic consult was obtained and recommended conservative management and physical therapy. Mr. Lee knows he will have trouble caring for himself at home, but refuses to go to a Rehabilitation Unit even for a short period of time. The student’s task is to interview and examine Mr. Lee in preparation for an interdisciplinary team meeting to discuss discharge plans.
On completion, the instructor will be able to:
- Evaluate a student’s ability to take a focused history and perform a focused physical exam related to a patient who is disabled after a fall in preparation for an interdisciplinary team meeting.
