The Clinical Skills Program provides students with the opportunity to learn, practice, and demonstrate patient-centered clinical reasoning and communication skills.  In small group and individual learning activities, students work with simulated patients (SPs) under the guidance of clinical facilitators and educators to practice interviewing patients, performing physical exams, writing clinical notes, interpreting labratory data and images, sharing information with patients and families, making oral presentations, and communicating with other members of the healthcare team.

We foster learning and service opportunities to underserved patients around the world. In a rapidly changing world of health care delivery, patients, care givers, and administrators realize that much is to be gained by learning to better serve our diverse community of patients both within and outside of the US.
