<br>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.<br>
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). <br>
Actors would be required to attend several paid training sessions in order to be eligible to participate in the following sessions.<br>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.<div>
