WHY VPED

Where the abstract becomes real.

You spend hours studying disorders, assessments, and interventions, but it can be hard to imagine what that knowledge looks like with a real person. Virtual Patient Education will help you bridge that gap.

By connecting you with adult patients in a supportive virtual environment, we allow you to practice clinical thinking, communication, and professional skills before you step into externships or placements. And all of it will count towards your 400 supervised clinical hours.
