Abstract:
The KCOM campus hosts a modern, state of the art human patient simulation (HPS) laboratory, which allows simulation of neonatal, pediatric, obstetric, and adult patients. Students are able to utilize the HPS lab to become comfortable with physical exam skills, procedural skills and communication skills before attempting them in a true clinical environment. Involvement of students from other disciplines has facilitated interprofessional education. Involvement of community health providers has expanded the richness of the student experience.
