All Academic and Health Science Center schools and programs are invited to use the TAPS Standardized Patient Program for testing, teaching or practicing clinical skills. We offer faculty the opportunity to prepare students for the professional world with simulated situations related to their future practice. Integrating use of our facility, technology and SPs into the health sciences curriculum creates powerful and active student learning experiences. We can offer demonstrations, simulations, video or digital taping, peer assessment and self-assessment as well as supervised practice in physical examination, clinical decision-making, patient communication skills and more. We provide consultation services in curriculum development for activities designed to utilize our resources.
