The Human Simulation Education Center (HSEC) is used for simulated patient education, clinical skills education, and other educational experiences. It contains four suites, each of which contain a central debrief room with projection capability and 4 examination rooms equipped with examination table and standard clinic equipment.

Simulated patients are skilled professionals who are trained to present clinical scenarios in a standardized fashion to each learner, thus earning the title of “standardized patient.”  They present the history in a certain manner, simulate abnormal physical findings, and provide feedback to learners about bedside manner, professionalism and communication skills.

Cameras and sound equipment in each exam room allow each experience to be recorded.  Faculty can watch the patient interaction live via a web based program or can watch the recording after the fact.  A software program provides ease of grading these encounters using a checklist and/or comments.
