[Marcia Moreno]

*ACTOR
General Description*

The Department of Family Medicine at CWRU is looking for actors to perform
the role of patients for an educational training session of the Enhanced
Teachable Moments Project. This project is looking at the ways doctors and
patients talk together during healthcare visits with regard to weight
management.
Actors would potentially be performing as physicians or patients in two
sections of the Educational Training program: the educational DVD (see Group
A, below) and/or live performance as “SPs” (standardized patients) during
the actual Educational Training session (see Group B, below).
Actors would be required to attend several paid training sessions in order
to be eligible to participate in the following sessions.
We are looking for men and women between 18 to 70 years old, slightly to
moderately overweight (roughly between 26 and 30 BMI) to play the role of
patients.  We are also looking for men and women between 18 and 70 years old
(with any BMI) to play the role of physicians.


*Requirements*
*All*
-        Extremely reliable and enthusiastic actors who are interested in
contributing to health research and making a difference

*Group A (DVD)*
-      Ability to memorize a script
-      Experience/familiarity with being video-recorded (multiple takes)
*Group B (Skill Practices)*
