Jennifer Thornberry, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, assistant professor in the Ascension Via Christi – Wichita State University School of Nursing, presented “Development of a Standardized Patient Education Program” at Kansas Nurse Educator Conference at Newman University July 17.
Description: In this presentation, the experiences of utilizing the Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE) Standards of Best Practice (SOBP) in the development of a standardized patient education program were described so that other nursing education programs can develop or evaluate their own standardized patient simulation programs. Results from a qualitative study about high stakes standardized patient exams for FNP students were presented with a goal of understanding the student nurse experience in high stakes SP exams.
