      Campuses



      Students complete their first two years at the college's main campus in Tallahassee, which consists of a combination of traditional classroom instruction, as well as simulated clinical training at their Clinical Learning Center (CLC). At the CLC, medical students learn interviewing and physical exam skills by working with standardized patients in a simulated clinical environment. Adult and infant interactive mannequins are also utilized to simulate a variety of clinical scenarios, such as a heart attack or an asthma exacerbation, so that students can learn to determine and apply the appropriate treatment in a no-risk environment.
      The Florida State University College of Medicine provides third- and fourth-year clinical training at regional medical school campuses in Orlando, Pensacola, Sarasota, Tallahassee, Ft. Pierce, and Daytona Beach, Florida. There are rural training sites in Marianna and Immokalee, Florida, in addition to Thomasville, Georgia. It is during these years that students work under the one-on-one supervision and instruction of local physicians at affiliated outpatient clinics and hospitals, through which they are actively involved in direct patient care.
