ABSTRACT

Health simulation has become an essential tool in medical education, and its application in the field of psychiatry has proven to be particularly valuable. This narrative review article thoroughly examines the use of health simulation with standardized patients in psychiatric training, highlighting its benefits and the evidence of its effectiveness. It concludes that health simulation with standardized patients plays a fundamental role in psychiatric training by providing a safe and controlled environment for students to acquire practical skills, improve their clinical decisionmaking, and develop effective communication with patients. The evidence suggests that this approach enhances not only technical skills but also interpersonal skills, which are crucial in managing psychiatric disorders.
