Center for Clinical Competence

The Kesselheim Center for Clinical Competence provides KCUMB medical students with access to state-of-the-art human patient simulators, enabling them to experience medical scenarios and to link those experiences with standardized patient interactions.

The KCCC opened in 2006, enhances the early clinical education of first and second-year medical students. Linked to live patient interactions through the College of Osteopathic Medicine’s standardized patient program, these early clinical experiences provide high quality, in-depth clinical training prior to third and fourth-year clinical rotations. The center is also a critical community asset, as a catalyst for research in medical education and disaster training.
