Getting involved in more real-life simulation exercises, Nikko was roped in to perform as part of a role-playing assessment for a pharmaceutical company. The objective of the exercise is to create a situation to allow the observer assess how well the manager is able to handle a meeting with an unhappy subordinate. This simulation exercise was held at Changi Village Hotel on the 30th of March 2011.
Similar to the NUS DUKE medical simulation, this involvement's focus was more on person-to-person relations. It brings to light situations that are relevant in the working world about the working man's frustrations at work. Nikko was given 5 issues that she was unhappy about at work and she had to relay them to a new manager who has only been on the job for two weeks seeking to understand her plight.
Apologies once again but Nikko did not take any photographs of the simulation exercise.

MISCELLANEOUS - NUS DUKE
Once again, Nikko participated as a patient for NUS DUKE to play a role of a sick individual as part of their doctor-patient simulation, this time for the student's exams. Each student was given 15-minutes to ask questions about the standardized patient role that Nikko undertook, Joey Lee to suss out information about her present illness.
With the flurry of medical jargon thrown about by the students, Nikko found it an interesting opportunity to learn more about the various medical terms. An example of one of the not so common terms include being hematopoietic (which refers to the medical conditions related to the blue such as anemia and easy bruising). She also had an insightful discussion with one of the lecturers while ticking off a check list to assess the student's 'performance'.
Nikko did not take any photographs of the procedure and does not think it would be appropriate to post up any anyways.

Nikko got involved with NUS Duke as a standardized patient. This allowed her to take on a different character every time she get involved in the session and to hone her skills. For the first session, Nikko played a 23 years-old social worker caring for a mentally challenged individual. What Nikko likes about the programme is that she is given the opportunity to pick up medical jargon from her interaction with the students. Nikko is also expected to deliver the same portrayal of the character to each student and doing so really tests her ability to be consistent in her performance.
About the standarized patient programme is that Standardized Patients (SPs) are individuals who are carefully trained to portray patient roles. The similarity of these portrayals to real patient situations allows the Duke-NUS students to conduct an actual clinic consultation on a Standardized Patient and allows each student to be assessed in a standardized and controlled environment, elements that increase the validity of student assessment. These simulated doctor-patient encounters are closely monitored under the guidance of Duke-NUS faculty members and are recorded/ video-taped for the purpose of learning and assessment.
Oh the horrors of an iphone, better luck with photo taking the next time around (:
