# ◾ How to Confirm Available Standardized Patients :::info The page explains how to confirm available SPs for a patient scenario [**Session**](/doc/sessions-2aZ5cOyh5C). ::: If you have available SPs, you can proceed and confirm one or more of them for a [**Case**](/doc/cases-of-sessions-pTlkcAzVwk) (patient scenario). SPs must arrive and portray the patient scenario at the confirmed date and time. 1. Go to a Case where you have available SPs. :::info As SPs can be **requested for multiple Cases**, they are also enabled to accept multiple concurrent Cases, maximizing their chance of being selected for a patient scenario. ::: ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/48ddf0a7-308b-4fe9-b28a-e3ce1797eaa8/d7fa0d9c-4095-4a18-8bdc-1afc41e6b8fa/spa1.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20260909%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260909T120000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=86268c43c85c5eda9de4686b6cf4794cb255e722f852503a43efbbed46764347&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =2504x1490") 2.
