Good luck @miulfelle !!

Can you sign up to be a patient when they practice on real people?

[StJohnFisherCollege]

@jetsontherise: Since our students practice on real people during their clinical hours in a hospital setting, there is usually no need for volunteer patients. We thank you for your interest though!

Can you be a patient for these things so they can practice on real people?

[StJohnFisherCollege]

@jetsontherise: Thanks for your comment! Simulation mannequins are used during these exercises to allow students to practice performing procedures for the first time without the anxiety of performing them on real patients. This helps the students become more confident in their abilities and develop skills such as teamwork and communication. They are an extra kind of experience—not an “in place of” experience. Students practice on real people all the time during their clinical rotations.
