Online Teaching, Training, and Simulation through Videoconference
To ensure continuity in experiential learning for medical and healthcare learners, the Standardized Patient Program (SPP) offers both in-person and online simulated patient encounters. Our virtual format leverages secure, user-friendly video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, which have proven to be effective tools for delivering high-quality, interactive education.
Simulating Real-World Clinical Encounters Online
Through live video sessions with trained Standardized Patients (SPs), learners can engage in realistic, face-to-face clinical simulations that support the development and assessment of essential competencies, including:
History-taking, data collection, and patient counseling
Organization and presentation of clinical information
Development of differential diagnoses and management plans
Verbalization of physical examination maneuvers
Evaluation of verbal and non-verbal communication skills
Understanding communication dynamics in telehealth settings
Clinical decision-making and interpretation of findings
Receiving structured feedback from SPs and faculty
Participating in guided debriefing sessions
Preparing Learners for a Digital Healthcare Environment
As virtual care becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare delivery, our online simulation model prepares learners for the realities of telemedicine. These sessions not only reinforce clinical and communication skills but also familiarize participants with the nuances of remote patient interaction.
