How do I Become a Standardized Patient? If you think you might be interested in becoming a standardized patient, here is some additional information you should know.
Our SPs come from all walks of life and bring a variety of experiences
with them. They generally have an interest in education and personal health.
They have excellent communication skills, and are patient with those who are
learning new skills. They must also have some flexibility to participate in
exams and exercises that take place in the evenings and on weekends.
What responsibilities would I have Once you join the SP Program and begin working with our students we ask you for your commitment to this learning process. How will I be trained to be a SP? You will undergo extensive training, which varies according to the type of cases you are asked to simulate. Some SPs are asked to work with students who are practicing a certain skill. Others are used during exams to evaluate how well students have learned skills. The training typically takes place with a group of people assigned to portray the same case. There are opportunities to ask questions, do some role playing, and critique each other's performance. The goal of the training session is to ensure that you have a thorough knowledge of the case, and that everyone portrays the case in a 'standardized' way. Individual training sessions are usually no more than three hours, but total training time may last up to 12 hours. How do I apply to be a SP?
We will contact you within 10 business days to schedule an interview. If there are currently no openings, your information will be added to our database so that we may contact you in the future. You may also contact Erica Clarkson at 919-843-9372. What are some upcoming SP activities?
