Standardized Patients

A Standardized Patient is a lay person who can accurately and consistently recreate the history, personality, physical finding, emotional structure and response pattern of an actual patient at a particular point in time. This is especially important in examinations, when examiners must present each student with the same scenario, and the presentation of that scenario must be consistent and professional. Using a Standardized Patient (as opposed to an actual patient or an untrained volunteer) ensures that each individual encounters the same situation. Our clients use Standardized Patients for OSCEs, teaching, demonstration, clinical assessments and in many other activities requiring a consistent, replicable patient interaction.
