Standardized Patient Training Courses

Posted on by Fran Page

Happy Tuesday! As you go through the registration process, I welcome you to consider becoming a standardized patient. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn how to work with pre-professionals in the medical field using your acting skills. It’s a great way to make money when you’re in-between gigs after college. Many teaching hospitals and training institutions hire standardized patients. Additionally, we are the only college/university in North America who offers a minor in standardized patient training. SP skills training is happening next semester on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please consider signing up. Only pre-requisite is Acting I. Thanks! Have a great day! Fran

It includes in-depth discussion on the benefits and challenges of working on cruise ships, how each panelist got into this work, and many of the unexpected aspects of working in this industry.

Message from NHETG

Posted on by Kizer

Dear Matt and the Legendary P.S.U. Theatre Department,  On behalf of the entire New Hampshire Educational Theatre Guild, I would like to extend our sincerest thanks and congratulations for an incredibly successful day.  To be sure, this year had increased challenges, and your staff weathered them admirably.   I can’t tell you how good it felt to walk back into the Silver Center for a day of theater education after a long hiatus.  Speaking as a teacher of attending students, my group had a fantastic day and learned a great deal that will stay with them as they take on future projects.  As always, P.S.U. set the bar high for our students and have given them a great deal to think about.  Congratulations as well on your production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.  A fabulous production, to be sure.  Thank you, Matt, for all of your hard work in setting this up.  We, as a board, are incredibly appreciative of your efforts.  We look forward to our continued attendance to this annual event.   We wish your department all the best for the rest of the year.  Sincerely, Scott GiesslerPresident, NHETG
