CC: [Faculty Member's Name], Clinical Skills Assessment

Dear [Your Name],

I am writing to provide feedback on our patient encounter that took place on March 12, 2023. As a standardized patient, I was trained to simulate a patient with a specific medical condition and to respond accordingly to your questions and physical examination.

Patient Information:

• Name: John Doe
• Age: 45
• Chief Complaint: Chest pain
• Medical History: Hypertension, hyperlipidemia

Encounter Summary:

During our encounter, you presented yourself as a medical student and conducted a thorough physical examination. You asked me a series of questions about my symptoms, medical history, and medications. You also performed a focused examination of my chest and abdomen.

Feedback:

Overall, I was impressed with your professionalism and attention to detail during our encounter. You demonstrated good communication skills and asked relevant questions to gather more information about my symptoms. However, there were a few areas where you could improve:

• During the physical examination, you did not perform a thorough examination of my abdomen, which is an important part of evaluating patients with chest pain.
• You did not ask me about my family history, which could be relevant in evaluating my risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Recommendations:

Based on our encounter, I recommend that you:

• Review the importance of a thorough physical examination, including the abdomen, in evaluating patients with chest pain.
• Ask more questions about a patient's family history to gather more information about their risk factors for various medical conditions.

Additional Comments:

I appreciated your willingness to listen to my concerns and answer my questions during our encounter. Your bedside manner was professional and respectful.

Thank you for your time and effort in simulating a patient encounter. I look forward to our next encounter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name] Standardized Patient
