Overview
Summary
Standardized Patients (SP) support Osteopathic Medical Education by playing the role of “patient actors”, who create a realistic scenario from which students can learn. A Standardized Patient will be assigned a role and patient profile, be provided training, and then portray the role to students in a simulated clinical setting or classroom. Standardized Patient scenarios include but are not limited to the SP providing a scripted clinical history, having a basic non-invasive physical exam performed upon them, and/or portraying a simulated illness. Costumes and makeup may be used to enhance the simulated effect. Standardized Patients engage non-verbalmunication skills so clinical learners can experience the emotions, body language, andmunication skills they might encounter in a clinical environment. All healthcare information in the scenarios is simulated. No invasive procedures or invasive exams will be required during Standardized Patient Encounters.
The ideal candidate will have an interest in training the next generation of health care providers and participating in active learning scenarios.
