Objective:

To develop and evaluate a multiagent virtual patient (VP) framework for clinical communication training, focusing on simulation fidelity, interaction performance, and scalability.

Key Findings:
  • The multiagent framework showed improved simulation fidelity and interaction performance compared to single-LLM approaches.
  • The use of specialized subagents contributed to enhanced clinical authenticity in patient interactions.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • Current solutions may lack sufficient flexibility for large-scale educational adoption.
  • There is a need for robust evaluation metrics to assess role-playing fidelity.
Conclusion:

The study discusses the potential of multiagent frameworks in enhancing clinical communication training through improved simulation fidelity and interaction.
