The Carver College of Medicine Simulated Patient (SP) Program is an integral part of the learning process for all PA students. SPs are highly trained individuals that work with PA students during the didactic and clinical phases of the curriculum. SPs provide real-life scenarios for students to gain the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to provide high-quality, compassionate healthcare as a physician assistant.
