UMHS Maine | Standardized Patient Encounter (SPE) - 360° Video

A Standardized Patient Encounter (SPE) is a simulation in medical education where trained actors portray specific patients with detailed backstories, symptoms, and personalities for students to practice clinical skills, such as taking histories, performing exams, and developing communication in a safe and realistic environment. These encounters allow students to hone crucial patient interaction skills and receive direct feedback, bridging the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world practice. This 360° video recording filmed at the UMHS Maine Campus provides insight into what a typical encounter entails. from University of Medicine and Health Sciences https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYM2saAf2Zc via UMHS YouTube Channel
