The Standardized Patient (SP) Program is an integral part of the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine. It gives students the real-life experience necessary to become better physicians.<\/p>\n

The SP Program employs highly trained healthy people to portray patients with a wide variety of symptoms and illnesses. Beginning in the first year of medical school, these standardized patients teach students to perform a complete physical examination, take a medical history and effectively communicate with patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
