We are researchers in the UW-Madison School of Nursing working to improve pain communication between older adults and their providers. We know how important a role that family caregivers play in helping to pass along information during these appointments. We have created an online family caregiver training module to help family caregivers learn how to better advocate for their loved ones during their family members’ appointments.
As part of our training, we are looking for actors to act as providers, caregivers, and patients in a home and clinic setting. Your role as an actor will be compensated at $50/hour. Below, I have listed the information as well as a link to the interest form:
