Program Structure

  • The Standardized Patient Program (SPP) is a clinical teaching and evaluation unit of Ponce School of Medicine.  The Program offers clinical activities to the Medical School , Clinical Psychology Program and Residency Programs who participate in the Ponce School of Medicine Consortium.  The SPP has an experience of more than eight years of service to PSM and its clinical programs.
  • Clinical faculty members develop the cases for each activity.  The patients are trained to represent the clinical situation as in a real scenario.
  • Clinical faculty evaluates the representation of the patient and decides when the case is ready to be run.
  • The patients are trained in their cases to represent a clinical situation and to complete a checklist on the items established by the faculty for each case.
  • The activities are constantly monitored by SPP Staff to guarantee that the evaluation of each participant is fair according to their performance.
  • All the activities are videotaped and available for revision by the faculty member in charge of the final report and/or the participant.
