NEW applicants:

Thank you for your interest in the Standardized Patient (SP) program at the Cleveland Clinic Simulation and Advanced Skills Center.  SPs are people who portray patients in cases which are used to train medical learners in Communication Skills.  SPs also present as themselves in Physical Diagnosis sessions.  Special Project SPs present in a variety of learning simulations with many different caregivers here at CCF.  We are located in the Lerner Research Institute on the main Cleveland Clinic campus near University Circle in a dynamic professional and educational environment.

-               We have sessions every week during the academic year (September to May), along with Special Projects which occur on various dates throughout the year. 

-               SP work is dependent upon which cases we use and whether any of the patient profiles in those cases match up with your profile.   

-               We will invite you to participate in a specific session(s).  You are welcome to say Yes or No with no penalty. 

 

Communication Skills Simulations

You will not be needed all Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons; you will be invited to specific Tuesday and/or Wednesday afternoons.  Special Projects vary in needs and dates.

You must memorize the character profile of a particular patient. 

We have a 2-hour training session that accompanies each of the Communication Skills cases, most often on the Monday or Thursday of the week before the simulation event.  You will be paid for this training.

 

Physical Diagnosis Simulations

These sessions occur on various Tuesday afternoons from 12:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. 

 For this type of session, you must wear a hospital gown. There is no character profile to memorize and no training for this type of session.

 

Special Projects 

In addition, we have many different Special Projects in which SPs participate.

 

Pay

$20.00 to $23.00 per hour as an independent contractor. 

 

Parking – Paid Voucher

Parking is provided in the garage closest to the training/event on main campus.
