Context Clinical skills assessment using standardized
patients (SPs) is an accepted method of professional
testing, but some factors can threaten the validity of the
scores obtained.
Objective The main objective of this work was to test
whether the gender of the patients, the sequence of
cases and the day of the examination have any impact
on the scores of the examinees.
Materials Data from examinations conducted at three
Medical Schools are used. Each student encountered
10 different SPs (5 men and 5 women).
Methods Analysis of variance was used to test the existence
of association between the variables.
Results The results showed no signi®cant differences or
association between the scores and the three variables
analysed.
Conclusions The results are coherent with the studies
that show that performance based examination using
SPs can be used without introducing biases into students
