About the Program

Clinical Skills Learning Program (CSLP)

About CSLP:

The CSLP staff train and schedule Standardized and Volunteer Patients for use in teaching situations, either off-site or in the Clinical Skills Facility in the Dr. Don Rix Clinical Skills Learning Building. We provide a unique experiential learning resource for students, residents, faculty members and other health care learners.

Simulated Patients (SPs) are people who have been carefully coached and trained to simulate an actual patient, including the history and physical findings, socio-economic and educational background, emotions and personality characteristics.

Volunteer Patients (VPs) are real patients with stable physical findings who are willing to tell their real stories and be physically examined.

Both SPs and VPs offer a readily available and standardized tool for teaching students, residents and other health care professionals new communication, interviewing and physical exam skills, allowing for refinement of such skills and the evaluation of learner performance.
