What I'm looking for
At Emory University School of Medicine, I coordinate OSCE event setup, prepare and test computers, and verify that standardized patient and student reports are received and uploaded to CAE LearningSpace.
As a Medical School Simulation Specialist at Emory University School of Medicine and The University of Minnesota, I portray standardized patient cases and assess students in clinical scenarios. I also facilitate feedback discussions with students and faculty.
Earlier, I transcribed medical dictation at wordZXpressed, preparing clear, accurate documents and reports. I’ve also evaluated student responses for Data Recognition Corporation and Measurement Incorporated using established scoring criteria.
