THR 2515 - Healthcare Theatre

Credits: 2

Healthcare Theatre incorporates film, text, observation, improvisational acting, and experiential learning to prepare students for acting roles in various simulated healthcare settings. The course provides students
with the acting, feedback, and debriefing skills needed to become standardized patients (SPs). Simulations will assess the medical and communication skills of in-training health care providers. The simulated performers will learn how to give objective, professional feedback from the patient’s perspective to the healthcare participants. This course promises to improve the student’s own communication skills in and out of simulation. As a simulated performer you will have the opportunity to learn and work with students in the following programs: Nursing, Athletic Training, and Psychology.
