5.5. STANDARDIZED PATIENT TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT
Updated August 2017
The Standardized Patient (SP) Program offers clinical skills training for PA students throughout the three-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 PA students. Real patients or SPs are trained to consistently recreate the same clinical situation, findings, or problem with each student encounter.
