A Simulated Patient (SP) is an individual trained to portray a patient in a realistic manner for educational purposes. SPs are commonly used in medical and healthcare training programs to help students practice clinical skills, communication, and patient interaction in a controlled environment. They provide feedback on the students' performance, enhancing the learning experience. These simulations can take place in various settings, including medical schools and nursing programs. By using SPs, educators can create scenarios that mimic real-life situations, allowing students to develop their competencies before interacting with actual patients. This method is part of a broader approach known as Simulation-Based Learning.
