Prospective SPs
What is a standardized patient?
A standardized patient, or SP, is a person hired and trained to act as a real patient
to simulate a set of standardized symptoms or complaints for the training of future
healthcare providers. SPs portray the roles of patients and family members to allow
students to develop and practice skills related to collecting health histories, performing
physical exams, communicating effectively, and providing patient/family teaching.
SPs often provide faculty-guided verbal and/or written performance feedback to students.
These learning/practice activities occur in a safe, simulated clinical
environment.
If you have...
- Excellent communication skills
- A flexible schedule
- An interest in healthcare or education
- The willingness to receive direction
- A desire to contribute to the success of future healthcare providers
Then working as an SP might be for you!
