Exam Day *Lightning Cracks*

Perhaps the longest, most complicated, and most dreaded day(s) on the job as an SP. Guest Tom Wyatt (an OG SP!) talks us through the etiquette, dos and do nots, ups, and downs, of these critical work days as well as shares tips and stories on working with Med Students during these *stressful* periods.

Tom Wyatt having worked professionally as an actor since age 16, and a director / choreographer since college, his skill set transitioned seamlessly into performing and training SP's to work with medical students on their interpersonal skills. “For the past 25 years, my life has been a joyous combination of working in the theatre, and also being a fixture in the several local Medical School SP programs.”
