Vincent Brown’s Experience

• Standardized Patient for Clinical Skills Assessment

  NBOME

  (Non-Profit; Education Management industry)

  June 2004 — Present (4 years 2 months)

  A Standarized Patient or SP for short, "is a person who has been carefully coached to simulate an actual patient so accurately that the simulation cannot be detected by a skilled clinician."
  
  Specific to my current situation, I learn a case history and physical findings of a patient case and portray the patient as accurately, consistently and with as much realism as possible for each candidate (12 of them per day).
  
  It is said that an SP represents the "Gestalt" of the person being simulated; not just the history, but the body language, phsyical findings, personality and emotions.

• Assistant Marketing Director

  deviantART, Inc.

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Online Media industry)

  I managed the "Daily DMusic," a tool that connected the popular music promotion arm of the Dimension Music Network (DMusic.com) with the artistic userbase at deviantART (deviantART.com)
  
  I was promoted to work alongside deviantART creator, Scott Jarkoff, as deviantART's Software Database Administrator. I populated and kept up-to-date, a database with more than 1,000 detailed entries of computer programs related to art and desktop customization, and accompanied each with a well-written news article.
  
  I transitioned to a public relations role to work with Co-Founder, Angelo Sotira, as "Assistant Marketing Director" I fostered healthy relationships between our company and software developers, website owners and community leaders. I wrote a number of inhouse documents and public releases for our online community and partners.
