"Standardized patients, from theory to practice" aims at providing students with the skills and knowledge they need to start or improve an existing standardized patients program. Topics covered include: SP management and training, building histories and checklists (hands-on), using SPs for communication training, assessment and feedback, debriefing techniques and research on SPs. Lead by the experienced EM-UMinho team, who set up and managed the first and most successful SP program in Portugal, and an international faculty, the course will give you the tools you need, whether you are starting a new SP program or just want to take your own program a step further.
This course does not provide credentials for the exercise of medicine for those without appropriate training, recognition and registered at the "Ordem dos Médicos" or international equivalent institutions.
