We provide advanced medical simulation facilities and equipment to support clinical skills education, along with research services designed to improve health care performance in safe, realistic environments. With multiple dedicated simulation spaces across the Sacramento health campus and the ability to bring equipment directly into clinical settings, we offer flexible, comprehensive resources for interprofessional education and research. 

Standardized Patient Actors

A standardized patient is a trained individual who simulates real patient scenarios to help learners practice clinical and communication skills. We incorporate standardized patients into clinical training to provide realistic, consistent learning experiences.

Become a Standardized Patient

No prior acting experience is required, and anyone in the community who wants to help train the next generation of medical professionals is welcome.
