CAPE In The News

On Wednesday, February 17th, we hosted our very first Patient-Centered Care & Health Outcomes Simulation Day, an immersive training for Emergency Medicine residents. The goal of this experience was to help learners:

• Explore how social and structural factors influence patient health outcomes
• Reflect on their own communication and responsiveness to different patient needs
• Recognize and address patients’ social determinants of health
• Understand how systemic barriers can impact care delivery

Residents engaged in eight patient scenarios representing a wide range of real-world contexts, from language access challenges to housing insecurity. CAPE designed this authentic experience to strengthen clinical awareness, empathy, and the ability to deliver safe, effective, and equitable care for all patients.
