Training and Using Standardized Patients
For Teaching and Assessment
Springfield, Illinois

 
Standardized Patients (SPs) are used throughout medical education to teach and to evaluate the clinical performance, communication/interaction skills of medical students, residents and other health professional students. With the ACGME competency requirements, the USMLE Step II Clinical Skills Exam, and the increasing focus on Professionalism and Patient Safety, it has become imperative for all schools to be able to use SPs effectively.

This workshop is designed to teach participants to recruit, train, and supervise the performance of SPs for both teaching and assessment. In addition to the strong focus on basic SP training skills, case/checklist development and program maintenance will be covered. The workshop will be largely experiential with SPs being trained and cases written.  The workshop will culminate on the final day with a dry run of the cases developed during the workshop.  Attendees are encouraged to bring case ideas they would like to develop.
