As part of the \u201cYear of the Arts\u201d activities for 2014-2015, the College of the Arts will be hosting Dr. Aaron Anderson from Virginia Commonwealth University\u00a0January 28-29, 2015 to meet with our Theatre and Dance faculty and students.<\/p>\n

Dr. Anderson will be speaking with students and faculty about the Standardized Patient (simulated patient) program at VCU which involves working with the VCU School of Medicine to better equip health care providers with the necessary\u00a0skills\u00a0to understand and communicate with patients in challenging environments and situations. \u00a0Presenting\u00a0work done through a program of\u00a0this nature addresses\u00a0Valdosta State University\u2019s goal to consider innovative practices that potentially affect\u00a0academic programs across university campuses and will involve regional community partners such as area medical centers and patient representative organizations. \u00a0Additionally, programs of this nature create opportunities to expand public knowledge about creative practices being\u00a0utilized in an\u00a0unconventional manner.<\/p>\n

Details for Dr. Anderson’s agenda can be found below. Students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to attend the presentation and have an opportunity to meet with Dr. Anderson.<\/p>\n
