The simulated patients were selected according to the Post-Clinical Clerkship Objective Structured Clinical Examination (Post-CC OSCE) and were sent by My Informed Consent, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan). There were no conflicts of interest with My Informed Consent, Inc., and the research was not affected. Ten simulated patients each played patients with the following 10 diseases: case 1, infective endocarditis; case 2, polymyalgia rheumatica; case 3, hepatitis A; case 4, Guillain-Barré syndrome; case 5, multiple myeloma; case 6, acute myocarditis; case 7, pheochromocytoma; case 8, sarcoidosis; case 9, ischemic colitis; and case 10, renal infarction. The scenarios for the abovementioned diseases were created based on the questions of the Japanese National Medical Practitioners Qualifying Examination, and they were provided to the simulated patients. The simulated patients underwent a medical interview with participants based on the scenarios provided.
