Julia Levo, M.F.A., is responsible for the management, recruitment, and refinement of a large (80+) standardized patient (SP) training and assessment team.  She is passionate about fostering a work environment that is affable, productive, and solidly communicative while overseeing that the center is staffed properly for SP activities that promote experiential learning and assessment.  One of her roles is that of a specialized physical examination teaching cohort, as well as leading incoming students through an intersession course that promotes team-based learning and communication. She is also involved with identifying and implementing the need for SP encounters for outside clients and developing programs that will entrench the standardized patient teaching methodology into professional areas beyond that of only medical students. Julia also plays an active role in delivering student lectures/info sessions pertaining to the integration of simulation methodologies into medical knowledge courses.

She has worked with both medical students and residents, from New York Medical College, NYU, Columbia, Einstein, and the University of Connecticut.
