Abstract

The Acting 4 Health research project has focussed on the preparation of Drama students as Simulated Patients for learning events within the School of Nursing and Midwifery at The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC). Professional actors are often engaged as Simulated Patients in educational settings and this cost can make Simulated Patient work prohibitively expensive for many educational institutions. Engaging drama students as Simulated Patients works to develop the skill level of drama students while at the same time supporting Nursing and Midwifery students' educational needs. The Report for this project was completed in October 2015.
