Effectiveness evaluation of standardized patient training system on emergency department residents in disposing patients with acute chest pain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rapid triage and effective treatment of patients with acute chest pain are critical. Enhancing the clinical competency of emergency resident physicians in managing these patients has emerged as a key challenge in contemporary clinical education.
