  Provide a hands-on simulation hybrid experience utilizing high-fidelity simulation mannequins and trained standardized patients that introduces second year medical students to a clerkship style multidisciplinary approach. Four different patients were evaluated each half day, simulating an expected hospital stay for each patient. Day one, students performed a complete history and physical. Day two involved a simulationprocedure or emergent intervention on a mannequin. Day three mimicked daily rounds where students evaluated their patients and reported their findings to their team. Finally, students participated in a clinic follow up visit. After each encounter, students gave an oral presentation and wrote a note that were both evaluated by faculty.
