Neis Clinical Skills Lab

Another Challenging Clinical Scenarios event in the books! This is the very last SP event for our M2, as part of their transition to third year. Learners are provided the opportunity to take turns interviewing patients in a series of different challenging scenarios. We received overwhelmingly positive feedback in our satisfaction surveys this year. Go team!

A big thank you to all of our SPs and staff members for another successful CSA! This final OSCE for our third-year learners is the biggest event of the year, and we couldn't do it without the amazing SPs, staff, and faculty who make it possible.

We're very proud of all the hard work our faculty, staff, and standardized patients put into our annual Challenging Clinical Scenarios SP event this year. This event allows learners to practice navigating a variety of challenging situations in a controlled learning environment. Congratulations to the class of 2026 for completing your final M2 SP event!

Earlier this month we celebrated the christening of the Samuel L Butler Jr. Training Room. 🥳 Through his work as an SP Trainer, Sam made a lasting impact on this program. It wouldn't be what it is today without Sam. We couldn't be happier to celebrate his legacy.

We had a great time creating a Haunted Hellspital Halloween experience for OME. A team building activity we won't soon forget!
