Message from the Clinical Skills Center

Welcome to the Clinical Skills Center, where medical students have the opportunity to learn through carefully constructed simulated clinical patient interactions.

Our team develops case simulations, trains standardized patients on those cases, runs workshops and exams, and helps students understand their performances.

Our standardized patients portray a wide variety of individuals — ranging from young women and elderly men to concerned family members — to provide our students with the most comprehensive learning experience possible.

The center lets students not only practice their medical knowledge but also to learn how to develop professional and compassionate relationships with a diverse population of patients. Our state-of-the-art facilities also provide students with leading-edge technology that enhances their ability to be effective 21st century physicians.
