Standardized Patient Program & Labs
The Standardized Patient Hall utilizes trained actors and actresses to demonstrate ailments to UNSOM students and residents as well as UNLV Nurse Practitioners. This allows Learners to directly experience the process of deferential diagnosis. Each one of the twelve rooms is equipped with two “Pan-Tilt-Zoom” cameras, as well as microphones and speakers. This A/V system is run through B-line’s Clinical Skills software, managed by three control stations.
At the end of each scenario, learners exit the room and input their results into a computer terminal, while Standardized Patients report on the Learner’s ability to communicate and overall professional behavior.
The Standardized Patient Program and Labs are coordinated by Gigi Guizado de Nathan
