And working with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/modeling-simulation\/\">simulated patient<\/a> is part of a special class the college is offering this summer to let undergraduate physiology students experience patient diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic that the (mannequin\u2019s) program can simulate life systems in a controlled environment,\u201d said Scottie Jordan, a junior at the college\u2019s Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences. \u00a0\u201cThis bridges the text book and real life, and is excellent training for meeting patients in real life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like most of her classmates, Jordan is planning on a medical career and the three-hour simulation program allows her to get a glimpse of what medical school entails. It\u2019s the first time at the medical school for many of the undergraduates who have never seen simulation mannequins before or had to decipher symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Harris came up with the collaboration with Dr. Jack Cheng, associate professor at the Burnett school. \u00a0\u201cOur aim is to expose biomedical students to their career choices, to see what it\u2019s like being a doctor and apply basic physiology to clinical medicine,\u201d said Dr. Harris.<\/p>\n<p>During the class Dr. Harris and Dr. Christine Bellew, associate professor of pediatrics, explain the science and analyze symptoms to teach the students to not just look at the patient\u2019s current condition, but also to look for trends such as high blood pressure and breathing rates to assess whether the patient is improving or getting worse.<\/p>\n<p>As computers controlled the mannequin\u2019s asthma symptoms, the students listened to the heart with stethoscopes, and the doctors explained the difference between normal and labored breathing, which can vary depending on the health and age of the patient.<\/p>\n<p>The collaborative teaching keeps the students engaged and the hands-on approach gives them real examples to learn from, said Dr. Cheng. He believes that his students need to know how to apply science to medicine and plans on more teaching opportunities that bring the three faculty members together at the Burnett school\u2019s location on the main UCF campus and at the Health Sciences Campus at Lake Nona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meet patient Isaac Morris who is complaining of shortness of breath and a fast pulse.
