Abstrakt: An innovative expert simulated patient (ESP) strategy provides authentic, highly interactive clinical learning experiences even when patients fail to attend appointments at university optometry teaching clinics for low vision patients. The ESP approach uniquely simulates an actual case history while the expert instructor optometrist transitions in and out of patient role-play, providing formative feedback to students on history-taking, examination techniques, knowledge and professionalism. With significant benefits for clinical learning, clinic administration and staffing costeffectiveness, the ESP approach proved highly transferable to virtual environments, invaluable during the pandemic. This paper describes 3 years of successes and challenges of an ESP strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
