Simulation Education with Human Beings: The Rewarding Work of Running a Simulation Program 

Reed Van Deusen, MD, MS Associate Professor of Medicine, Assistant Dean for Human-Based Simulation Education and Advisory Dean, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine 

Pitt Psychiatry is pleased to welcome Reed Van Deusen, MD, MS as our featured speaker for the annual Clinician Educator Grand Rounds lecture on April 14, 2023.

Dr. Van Deusen is an Associate Professor in General Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He has served as the associate program director for the combined internal medicine-pediatrics residency from 2009 to 2016, and he enthusiastically joined the Office of Medical Education in 2016 as the Medical Director of the Standardized Patient Program. Prior to accepting this position, he was involved in education at the medical school in multiple venues. His greatest educational passion is teaching doctor-patient communication skills. He became the Assistant Dean for Human-Based Simulation Education in 2019. Dr. Van Deusen's clinical work involves caring for patients of all ages in inpatient and outpatient settings. His clinical niche is providing primary care for patients with complicated pediatric-onset illness who are too old to be seen by their pediatricians as part of the Progressive Evaluation and Referral Center (PERC). Pediatricians from across the region refer their patients who are transitioning to adulthood to PERC for longitudinal primary care and care coordination. 

Lectures will be offered as a hybrid event. Seating is available in the UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital Auditorium (masking is required to attend).
