April 2022 Hello, The Simulation Center at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine is once again looking for actors of many demographics (18 and over) to portray patients for Medical Education Learners. Most needed are: · Males 18-49 · Females 18-49 · Native Spanish Speakers – Any Age You can help train the next generation of doctors! We will train you to portray a patient so students can practice interviewing, physical exam, and professionalism. Our Standardized Patients (SPs) are employed as Independent Contractors and work according to their individual availability and interest (work as little or as much as you’d like). Programs are held in person Monday through Friday between 8 am and 5 pm. Some programs may start in the afternoon and run later. SPs are recruited about 4-6 weeks in advance and trained before the beginning of the program. Programs are a minimum of 2 hours long (most are longer) plus 2 hours of training (SPs are reimbursed at $20 an hour for both the training and the program). While we do record most sessions and require our SPs to sign an extensive video release, be aware that, due to student privacy laws, the videos are only used for student review, SP training and research. If you are interested you can find more information at our website (click here <https://case.edu/medicine/cscsimcenter/simulation-resources/standardized-patients> ) or by reaching out via email. Those who would like to apply can fill out the SP Application <https://case.edu/medicine/cscsimcenter/sites/case.edu.cscsimcenter/files/2019-08/MSSSC%20MASTER%20SP%20Application-WEB%20VERSION%20%7BV2%7D.pdf> and return it to me at hmg29@case.edu. I will follow up with a 20-30 minute phone interview. Programs are held year-round. Our next Zoom audition will be held Friday May 13, 2022, 9-11am. Those interested should complete the SP Application and phone interview as soon as possible. Thank you for your time, Howard *Howard M.
