Oregon Health and Science University
Discover the pinnacle of healthcare education at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), where innovation, continuing education, and empathy converge. OHSU is an Academic Health Center and simulation is thread throughout the research, clinical and academic missions. OHSU Simulation is a hub of cutting-edge technology, providing hands-on and immersive learning experiences for healthcare professionals. Some of the simulation modalities at OHSU include clinical skills training, team training, and procedural training – all designed to enhance healthcare professional training, based on the learning objectives of a program or department. SPs (simulated, standardized patients) offer realistic patient interactions, allowing learners to refine their diagnostic and communication skills (based on learning objectives) in a safe and supportive environment. Sensitive Exam Teaching Associates (SETAs) focus on cultivating empathy, inclusivity, and patient-centered care during sensitive examinations within a DEI and trauma-informed framework. Together, these programs create a comprehensive approach to healthcare professional training, ensuring that learners and participants emerge as skilled, compassionate, and patient-focused professionals.
