Similarities Between Clinically Matched and Unmatched Analogue Patient Raters: A Mixed Methods Study
Patient Education and Counseling: Volume 109, Supplement, April 2023, Page 2

These findings imply that clinically unmatched APs can effectively substitute for clinically matched ones in evaluating physician communication and offering feedback when the latter are unavailable.
