What a wonderful job! I´d love to set something up like that for our students. or maybe residents. Would be so kind and help me get some info on how they set this up? website maybe?

I will see what I can find out. There are actually quite a few of these programs across the country here - all attached to medical schools.

a quick google gave me:

Thank you so much!
Reading about your new job gave me a boost in taking our training to a new level - we have the dummy dolls and they are fine as for teaching practical skills as lumbar punktion and intubations and different codes. aso But the hard part to teach is bedside manners, psychology IRL. I know I can go in to almost any patient and make a connection and make almost any child calm down enough to take part in a reasonable consultation, but how to teach it? As soon as I enter the room w a resident or student the situation in the room changes and I have no way of telling what would have taken place if I was not in the room.
A "patient" like you would be invaluable! I am happy for you that you have a job and deeply moved by the thought of the impact you can make in so many lives for years to come.

I'm still in training and we're only doing it once a week for a few hours, so I don't really know all that much atm, but our main focus is to really work the interaction. We're given a brief - primary emotion, description of the illness, history, etc and we literally act it all out then provide feedback to the students on how they can make that connection with the patient better, etc.
