Standardized Patients

Standardized Patients are trained individuals who simulate real patients in medical training and assessments. They portray specific medical conditions and histories consistently, allowing healthcare students to practice clinical skills, communication, and diagnosis in a realistic yet controlled environment. This helps future physicians and other healthcare providers develop essential competencies safely before working with real patients. Standardized Patients are vital for ensuring quality education and evaluating competency in a way that benefits both learners and patients.
