Description
The Standardized Patient Program plays an integral role in the education of Hawaii's future physicians. Standardized patients (SPs) are trained to portray medical patients in roleplay scenarios so our students can practice and be tested on their clinical skills like communication, empathy, physical examination, and diagnostic reasoning.
