Abstract: Objective To explore the effectiveness of integrating medical humanistic education into communication scenario simulation training in the urology ward for standardized residency training. Methods From October to December 2025, 30 resident physicians undergoing standardized training in the Urology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected as the study subjects. Medical humanistic education was integrated into the communication scenario simulation training in the urology ward. The patient-physician communication skills were evaluated with the SEGUE framework, by standard patients before and after the training. Additionally, residents' satisfaction with the medical humanistic education was also evaluated after the training. Results After the communication training, the trainees' scores in gathering patients' information, understanding the patient and total SEGUE score were significantly higher than those before the training (P<0.05). The evaluations by standard patients for the residents' communication competence, including conversational skills, adaptability, content of conversation, humanistic care and conversation effectiveness were also significantly higher after the training (P<0.05). Overall satisfaction with the medical humanistic education was high after the training. Satisfaction ratings exceeded 90% in dimensions such as learning interest, national identity and societal responsibility and humanistic literacy. Satisfaction with research integrity was 83.3%, and with innovative 76.7%trainees believed the training encouraged their innovative spirit. Conclusions Integrating medical humanistic education into communication scenario simulation training in urology ward may enhance the patient-physician communication skills of resident physicians and achieve the teaching goal of “1+1>2” for the program of medical humanistic education.
