Center for Clinical Arts, Skills and Experiential Learning (CCASEL)
The Center for Clinical Arts, Skills, and Experiential Learning (CCASEL) (pronounced castle) serves as the hub for simulation activities of all modalities, clinical skills training and other experiential learning initiatives in the College of Medicine. It is also the home for the College’s Standardized Patient and Physical Examination Teaching Associate Programs, which allow trained community members to be part of the educational team by providing instruction and feedback to students about their communication, interpersonal and physical examination skills. The Center is overseen by Steven Butler, Ph.D., LP, CHSE, CHSOS, Director of Clinical Simulation.
For more information or to inquire about hosting a simulation activity, please email us at sdbutler@central.uh.edu. Current medical students may also contact us to request access to the lab space for self-directed learning, practice and review at no charge.
