The Standardized Patient Suite provides a safe environment for hands-on learning experiences with live patient actors. Students learn clinical skills and develop keen judgement skills in real-world practice scenarios. The lab allows for a variety of healthcare students to have face-to-face interaction and practice with patients in an outpatient or community setting.
The suite contains:
- 12 exam rooms set up as doctors’ offices with an exam table and various diagnostic equipment
- five interview/counseling rooms
- debriefing room
- changing room
- lounge
- standardized patient training room
- video recording and playback capability for student reflection and debriefing
Three additional flex spaces with retractable dividing walls feed off of this suite with a demonstration exam table and diagnostic equipment for additional space for demonstration and practice.
