What is the standardized patient program?
The standardized patient program here at CSUB facilitates simulated patient/provider clinical scenarios to give our nurse practitioner students practice communicating, diagnosing, and working with simulated patients. We select individuals for training and prepare them to portray real medical cases in a life like simulation with our nurse practitioner students.
What do standardized patients do?
Standardized patients are carefully recruited and trained to take on the characteristics of a real patient thereby affording our nurse practioner students the opportunity to learn and be evaluated on learned skills in a simulated environment. No experience is necessary to become a standardized patient. Standardized patients will be required to give feed back after clinical interactions.
How do I become a standardized patient?
We are constantly looking for new individuals to join our program. To become a standardized
patient please complete the Standardized Patient Application.
How can I find out more information?
Please email our standardized patient coordinator. The coordinator will be able to
address any additional questions you may have.
