Job Description

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-verbal communication skills so clinical learners can experience the emotions, body language, and communication 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. Standardized Patients may also participate in some clinical skills training and/or classroom functions. During events in the Osteopathic Principles and Practice Laboratory session, SPs will serve as demonstration models for osteopathic manipulative techniques (OMT).The following technique modalities are expected to be performed on the SPs: balanced ligamentous tension/ligamentous articular strain, counterstrain, facilitated positional release, still, high-velocity low amplitude, lymphatic techniques, muscle energy, myofascial release, osteopathic cranial manipulative medicine, soft tissue, visceral techniques, and other osteopathic technique modalities as taught in the course.

  • Embody a simulated patient, learn a simulated clinical case, and accurately portray the scenario for classroom and exam sessions.
