Checklist Example
Standardized Patient Checklist – Information for students and standardized patients. Note: The N/A designation should only be selected for items that cannot be assessed on a particular case, for example, a case involving a phone call, where items related to knocking on door, closing the door, shaking hands, making eye contact, washing their hands cannot be assessed. (Note that the text in red is directed to the student and should be used by the SP to gauge what is expected of the student).
