Faculty from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) presented at the 14th Annual Meeting of the Association of Standardized Patient Educators on the efficacy of using standardized patients in training students. The Master of Science degree in Bioethics is jointly conferred by ISMMS and Union Graduate College. As part of their practical, onsite training in clinical ethics, students engage in competency-based Standardized Patient (SP) encounters at ISMMS’s Morchand Center for Clinical Competence. Study authors found that all students who participated in the 2014 Practicum rated the SP exercise favorably, some remarked that it was the highlight of the course and 71% of the students expressed that feedback from both faculty and the SP was the most formative aspect of the exercise.
