The Dr. Angelo and Alberta Anaclerio Learning and Assessment Center (ALAC) is a dynamic teaching facility that plays a crucial role in training the next generation of healthcare providers. As a Standardized Patient, you'll step into the shoes of different individuals, portraying a range of behaviors, emotions, and medical symptoms. Through immersive role-play, you'll aid health professions students in developing their clinical and interpersonal skills during simulated medical encounters conducted within our cutting-edge center.
