Abstract	Background To describe the current status of standardized patient (SP) practice in mainland China. Methods We conducted a nationwide survey in 2016. One hundred and eighty-three SP educators (SPEs) responded to the questionnaire, representing 80 medical centers from 25 provinces in mainland China. All of these centers were affiliated with China Standardized Patients Practice Teaching Guidance. In the survey, we assessed the methods of SPs’ recruitment, hourly wage, how SPs were used and challenges of SP role. We also compared these data among the 4 different regions in China. Results In mainland China, the most frequent range of SPs’ age was between 30 and 40 years (24.8%). The SPs were usually recruited by recommendations from the SPEs or a current SP (43.8%), as well as advertising in the hospitals (43.8%). The mean hourly wage was US$12.60 for teaching activities and US$18.82 for medical examinations. The median frequency for training SPs was 12.9 times per year. The SPs were used in areas such as internal medicine (89.6%), surgery (79.2%) and pediatrics (56.3%). The most challenging parts for the SPs were to remember all of the key points of the cases (51.9%) and portraying the emotions of the case (51.9%). Almost half of the SPs reported that, when interacting with medical students, they had difficulty in providing feedback in consistent with students’ learning objectives. SPs’ gender, age, rewards and scenarios playing were different significantly among the 4 geographic regions in China (P < 0.05). Conclusions This survey provided the reliable data on the current situation of SP application in China. SP activities have had an encouraging progress but regional development imbalance.
