Welcome
to University of Texas Medical Branch’s Standardized Patient Program.
What
is a Standardized Patient?
A
Standardized Patient is a layperson trained to replicate a clinical
encounter consistently and realistically.
Standardized Patients provide the medical student an opportunity to
fine-tune professional skills, to gain self-confidence and be better able
to instill confidence in patients. The
student learns to become patient-oriented, more aware of patient feelings
and concerns, and most of all, to become an active listener.
The ability to listen and understand and communicate this
understanding is a skill of significant benefit to medical students, and
Standardized Patients play a central role in this process.
