I'm a Standardized Patient. Giving kind, concrete feedback about how future doctors can help patients feel more comfortable makes me feel like I'm doing good in the world. I have high standards for students, and if you are an SP, you should, too.
"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do."
Henry Ford
When I give students feedback about empathy or rapport, sometimes they respond by saying, "Oh, I'm so much better in clinic" or "I'm different with real patients" or "I don't do well when I'm being observed." But I can't give feedback on skills I don't observe.

Pretend you're giving feedback to a student. Be calm, kind and constructive. I reserve the right to moderate or remove comments to keep the conversation focused and productive.
