Papers with VSPs
Human or LLM as Standardized Patients? A Comparative Study in Medical Education (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Standardized patients (VSPs) are indispensable for clinical skills training but remain expensive and difficult to scale. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-agent VSP framework that separates case-grounded information disclosure from response generation to support stable, inquiry-conditioned patient behavior. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework more closely matches human SP behavior than existing VSPs, particularly in case consistency and controlled disclosure. |
