The numbers don’t lie: at $272.80 per student per session, traditional standardized patient programs are becoming increasingly unsustainable for many institutions. But the bigger challenge isn’t just cost – it’s the fundamental limitation on practice opportunities and standardization that impacts learning outcomes.
Insights
Our latest research reveals some striking insights about this challenge:
- Feedback delivery varies significantly between sessions
- Students typically get just one SP interaction per case scenario
- Programs struggle with standardization across different SP encounters
- Evaluator schedules and costs limit additional practice opportunities
What if you could provide unlimited practice opportunities with consistent, standardized feedback – all while dramatically reducing per-student costs?
In our recent implementation study, institutions using Xuron’s AI-driven SP platform reported:
- 76.5% of participants incorporating enhanced clinical techniques
- 82.4% of learners achieving high confidence post-training
- 4.4/5 engagement scores from healthcare professionals
The implications for medical education are significant. Instead of constraining practice opportunities due to SP availability and cost, programs can now offer unlimited standardized encounters with immediate, consistent feedback.
