As the Director of the Standardized Patient Program, I train and write scripts for local actors who portray a variety of patients in different clinical scenarios.  Every Yale medical student participates in experiential workshops with standardized patients including:

• Patient-centered medical interviewing
• The female reproductive history
• Breaking difficult news
• Options counseling for reproductive health issues
• Motivational interviewing for behavior change

We also use our standardized patients in interview skills demonstrations, workshops for physician associates and nurses in training, as well as in a reentry assessment for dual degree students and clinical skills remediation.
