Welcome to The Ruth M. Hillebrand Clinical Skills Center
A nationally recognized facility
The Center utilizes Standardized Patients (or SPs). A Standardized patient is someone who has been trained to portray, in a consistent, standardized manner, a patient in a medical situation. They help teach and evaluate students.
This site is designed for visitors who are interested in becoming SPs, students who encounter SPs in the curriculum, and faculty or facilitators who wish to use SPs in their courses or training programs.
Similarly to other professions and disciplines, the Ruth M. Hillebrand Clinical Skills Center believes healing and results are relationship-driven. Manners do Matter!
