Specially trained actors, Standardized Patients, accurately portray the role of a patient with a specific medical condition. They provide students with direct human interaction in a safe learning environment. Performing a competent physical exam, taking a thorough medical history, and building a rapport with patients are fundamental clinical skills that all graduates should possess. RVU’s Standardized Patient Program’s primary objective is to ensure that all graduates possess these essential skills. Feedback is given by faculty, staff, as well as the standardized Patient Educators, and is valued by students in their health care education.

• Standardized Patients (in-person and telehealth visits)
• Immersion rooms (allow students to immerse into the environment in which they will be practicing)
• Simulation Rooms (allow students to simulate medical experiences in a safe learning environment)

• Task trainers for ultrasonography, vascular access, sterile surgical technique, IVs, injections, auscultation, suturing and operating room etiquette.
• Practice resuscitation techniques, intubation, hemostasis and advanced skills such as cricothyrotomy.
• Skill sets needed for general surgery to include emergency airways, trauma laparotomies, and procedural and wound care capabilities.
• Immersion rooms will allow students to be immersed into the environment in which they will be practicing whether that is a hospital, clinic, rural, outdoor, or urban setting.  All can be created to allow students the ability to train in any environment.
• Life-like mannikins allow students to have the realism of caring for a patient in safe learning environments. Can be utilized for team-based trainings, including ER, ICU, medical-surgical, birthing and more.
• Virtual Reality modules and high-fidelity electronic manikins help train critical thinking skills using simulated patients.

• Curriculum Integration
