AP10. Use of Simulated Participants/Standardized Patients

 

Simulated Participants/Standardized Patients (SPs) will be utilized for students to interact with and perform hands-on techniques during practical examinations.  The SPs are provided background information pertaining the practical case and trained of how to act and what to say during the examination.
