Standardized Patient Experience
Touro Nevada uses standardized patients as a simulation tool to teach and evaluate our students. A Standardized Patient is a person who is trained to portray a patient in a medical scenario by acting out the symptoms, characteristics, and concerns of a real patient. The standardized patient is given a case based on a real patient and is interviewed or examined as if in a doctor's office or clinic.
