Mission The mission of the Dr. Allan L. and Mary L. Graham Clinical Performance Center (GCPC) is to help educators in the health professions improve clinical performance and patient safety by using simulated clinical encounters for

• Instruction • Assessment • Quality Improvement • Research

Who We Are and What We Do The GCPC supports the learning and assessment of communication skills, data gathering, clinical reasoning, decision-making, procedural skills and team skills through simulation-based educational programs. Our programs leverage standardized patients, task trainers, mannequins and other simulations to provide learners with opportunities for safe, repeated practice of clinical skills, in an environment rich with feedback and coaching. GCPC facilities include two eight-room “clinics” for standardized patient encounters, two mannequin simulation suites, two procedural skills labs, and two classrooms, all equipped with AV recording and playback capability; as well as office and administrative spaces. The GCPC is a unit of the Department of Medical Education (DME) in the UIC College of Medicine. The GCPC is affiliated with the College of Medicine’s Surgical Skills Lab and Perinatal Simulation Lab, together comprising the UIC Health Sciences Simulation Consortium, accredited by the American College of Surgeons as a Comprehensive Accredited Educational Institute – one of 77 such accredited institutes worldwide. We serve medical students and residents, nursing and nurse practitioner students, pharmacy students and residents, hospital staff including nurses and respiratory therapists, physicians in practice, and mid-career professionals who are students in the DME’s Masters of Health Professions Education (MHPE) and Masters in Patient Safety Leadership (MPSL) Programs. Health Professions faculty from around the world attend certificate and short-term fellowship programs at the GCPC to learn how to implement simulation activities effectively in their own schools.


GCPC staff members serve as workshop instructors, plenary speakers and Special Project faculty for health professions students and residents at UIC. We disseminate knowledge gained through our activities in peer reviewed publications, at workshops across the US and abroad, and at invited and peer reviewed presentations at national and international conferences, including the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC), the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH), the Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE), and others. GCPC Highlights - 2015 GCPC Expansion

GCPC staff have been working closely with architects from Holabird & Root + SLAM to design the new College of Medicine simulation facility on the fourth and fifth floors of the building housing the Mile Square Health Center on Roosevelt and Wood. The move will more than double the space available for simulation activities, allowing the GCPC to meet the growing demand for simulation-based educational programs for learners at all levels of training and practice. Phase 1, providing enhanced mannequin and procedural task-trainer simulation spaces, is projected to be complete Fall 2017.

American Heart Association Training Site

In 2015 the GCPC was accredited as an AHA Training Site, enabling us to provide training in Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support at both the learner and instructor level for students, residents and staff.

Award-winning presentations

Research and development efforts at the GCPC result in local, national and international presentations, including three award-winning abstracts and presentations in 2015:

Professional Development Programs for Simulation Educators

The GCPC Certificate Program in standardized-patient-based education is an intensive one-week program that provides faculty and simulation educators with the knowledge and skills needed to create effective instruction and assessment programs utilizing standardized patients (SPs). The certificate program has taken place annually since 2012, and is one of only two programs in the US dedicated to teaching faculty about SP methodology. National and international participation, including in 2015 two faculty participants from Ethiopia, provides a stimulating peer group and promotes networking opportunities.


In August-September 2015 the GCPC hosted a group of three faculty members from Taif University Medical School in Saudi Arabia for a one-month short-term fellowship program. The fellows observed GCPC activities, attended workshops on how to conduct simulation-based educational programs, and designed a project to help jump-start simulation activities at Taif. International fellows in prior years have hailed from Japan, Chile, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

GCPC on the road

In May 2015 Dr Rachel Yudkowsky, Director of the GCPC, and Bob Kiser, Assistant Director of the GCPC, conducted a series of professional development workshops based on the SP educator certificate program for faculty and SP educators at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Participants improved their skills in training SPs, managing an SP program, and developing SP-based assessments.

In October 2015 the UIC College of Medicine conducted a 4-day Medical Education Conference for 46 faculty at MS Ramaiah Medical College in Bangalore India. Workshops on how to utilize Standardized Patients, Simulation, and eLearning to enhance Medical Education were provided by GCPC SP Coordinator Laura McKenzie, GCPC Emergency Medicine/Simulation Fellow Dr Dan Robinson, Dr Valerie Dobiesz from the Center for Global Health and Department of Emergency Medicine, and Jerry Stapleton from the Department of Medical Education.

Dr Vora completed the program in July 2015 and is now a faculty member of the Dept of Emergency Medicine at Loyola University Medical Center.


Research and Development Projects

• Assessing Resident Physician Melanoma Detection Across Ethnic Groups. Drs. Claudia Hernandez (Dermatology) and Fred Zar (Internal Medicine) are using unannounced standardized patients to assess medical resident skin cancer detection rates and develop new education interventions to improve early detection in skin of color. The project is funded by an NIH grant to Dr Hernandez.

• Immersive Touch Module Development: Drs. Alexandra Vanmeter (Internal Medicine) and Rachel Yudkowsky (DME, GCPC) are working with Drs. Pat Banerjee and Cristian Luciano of the UIC College of Engineering and Immersive Touch Inc to develop new simulator modules and curricula for the Immersive Touch augmented reality/haptic simulator, focusing on Lumbar Puncture and Central Venous Catheter Insertion.

• Surgical Simulator Development: Drs Cristian Luciano (College of Engineering), Matt

Lineberry (DME) and Rachel Yudkowsky (DME, GCPC) are developing new ways to use augmented reality visualizations to improve surgical training.

• Core + Clusters Physical Exam: The GCPC and Dale Lorens (DME), Dr Asra Kahn

(IM) and Dr Ananya Gangopadhyaya (IM), directors of the Essential of Clinical Medicine (ECM) Program are collaborating with faculty from Columbia, George Washington University, Harvard, University of Connecticut, and Texas Tech to develop a new approach to teaching and assessing the physical exam.

• Development of a Telemedicine Curriculum for Internal Medicine Residents: Drs Ananya Gangopadhyaya (IM), Rachel Yudkowsky (DME, GCPC) Jeremy Young (IM) and Mahesh Patel (IM), along with Jerry Stapleton (DME) and Bob Kiser (GCPC), received a grant from the UIC Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) to develop an online curriculum to teach residents to work effectively in an online environment. The curriculum includes live tele-encounters with standardized patients to allow residents to experience telemedicine and practice telemedicine communication skills.

• C.A.R.E.S.: Clinicians Acting to Reinforce Empathy Skills. This pilot project funded

by the UIC Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), is designed to strengthen medical students’ empathic skills through the use of acting exercises and techniques. Students learn to identify empathic moments through role-playing both patients and clinicians within simulated clinical encounters. Project collaborators include Drs Josh Nathan, Amber May, Kelly Volpe, Sean Blitzstein and Geri Fox (all from Psychiatry), Dr Fred Zar (IM), GCPC staff Martin Hurm, Bob Kiser, Laura McKenzie, Lynda Shadrake and Shole Milos, and medical student Katherine Bock. The GCPC team members have been instrumental in developing the course content, including acting exercises and patient characteristics and scenarios, and will teach the course alongside a physician co-educator.
