Physicians' responses to patient communication were assessed by both clinically matched and unmatched analogue patients (APs). Significant correlations between their ratings indicated consistency in evaluating physician communication skills. Thematic analysis identified twenty-one common themes in both clinically matched and unmatched AP responses, suggesting similar assessments of important behaviors. These findings imply that clinically unmatched APs can effectively substitute for clinically matched ones in evaluating physician communication and offering feedback when the latter are unavailable.

Hierarchical linear modeling was used to quantify the effect of the curriculum on CSE performance. Additional analysis determined if clerkship order impacted clinical subject exam performance and whether the curriculum change resulted in more students scoring in the lowest percentiles before and after the curricular change.
