Our patient simulators are programmed to mimic human responses and to offer a variety of different learning opportunities. Our adult simulators offer a drug recognition system, difficult airway functions, CPR analysis, and the ability to bleed, cry and give birth. ISIC’s neonatal and pediatric simulators realistically represent a 40-week gestation baby and a 5-year-old with many features, such as motion, skin color changes, a realistic airway, and vocal sounds.

Standardized Patients (SP) are everyday laypeople who have been trained to portray patients with specific signs and symptoms of real medical and psychosocial conditions. 

As defined by Howard S. Barrows, M.D., creator of the Standardized Patient concept, a Standardized Patient is: a person who has been carefully coached to simulate an actual patient so accurately that the simulation cannot be detected by a skilled clinician. In performing the simulation, the SP presents the gestalt of the patient being simulated; not just the history, but the body language, the physical findings, and the emotional and personality characteristics as well.

Advance your clinical skills with our state-of-the-art virtual reality program. Our immersive technology allows students to practice treating patients in simulated virtual environments, enhancing essential skills like clinical reasoning, decision-making, and patient/team communication. This additional opportunity for structured practice results in increased learner competence and confidence in managing complex care.

Task trainers allow students to safely practice specific psychomotor skills, including intubation, starting an IV, inserting an indwelling catheter, and ultrasound-guided epidural/spinal catheter placement.
