SPETA Program

The Standardized Physical Exam Teaching Associates (SPETAs) are specifically trained to coach Year 1 medical students as they learn physical exam skills.

Team members give “hands on” instruction, using their own bodies as teaching tools. In addition to teaching the skills, they also give feedback on technique, language and overall approach. They also address the communication skills needed to provide a comfortable exam in a standardized manner in a supportive, non-threatening environment.
