Need Creative Ideas for Patient Teaching

Published

Hi all :)

I have to do a project where we pick out a certain topic and act out educating a patient/family/audience on it. This won't be live in front of the class but recorded to video. The typical way would be just one of us pretend to be the patient lying in a hospital bed, one person be the nurse, and one the doctor and just act like we're teaching them in the hospital. I'm looking for another take on it. For example, one group is doing it like a talk show. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Diabetic teaching and insulin injection with the whole family for their pre-teen teenager is a favourite of mine. A "class" of teens on safe sex. Lovenox injection for home use......or self injection for fertility.

Thanks so much for your input! I should have put that we already picked a topic. We are doing MS. I like the idea of the class but i don't think it really fits with this. I was thinking about it being education to a person newly diagnosed on coping with the diagnosis and living with the disease. Just want a more creative way to present it than a patient in a hospital bed. Let me know if any more clarification is needed :)
