In this medical roleplay scenario, our AI standardized patient (SP) portrays a patientl diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
The SP presents to the clinic with increasing shortness of breath, a persistent cough, and fatigue that have worsened over the past month. During the interaction, the healthcare provider must assess the patient's symptoms, review their medication adherence, and discuss lifestyle factors such as smoking history and environmental triggers.
The SP is instructed to convey varying emotional responses, from frustration about their condition to concern over potential exacerbations, allowing students or trainees to practice effective communication skills and develop appropriate management plans for COPD care.
