5.5: Standardized Patient Teaching and Assessment Activities
The Standardized Patient (SP) Program offers clinical skills training for medical students throughout the four-year curriculum. Its activities are designed to provide a simulated setting for the instruction and assessment of the clinical, cross-cultural and interpersonal skills of medical students. Real patients or actors are trained to consistently recreate the same clinical situation, findings, or problem with each student encounter.
