SP (Standardized Patient/Simulated Participant) Job Description

Summary

Serving the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (UPSOM), and under the supervision of the Office of Medical Education (OMED)/SP Program (SPP), SPs- also known as Standardized Patients or Simulated Participants- are a vital part of the education of students in UPSOM, the University's Schools of the Health Sciences, and beyond, using the practice and methodologies of human simulation education. The SPP is currently hiring individuals from the Pittsburgh community to portray patients, clients, health professionals, family members, and other participants in the context of educational role-play encounters, simulating all aspects of a scenario in a repeatable, accurate, and reliable manner in service of the prescribed learning objectives of the encounter. This flexible position is an exciting and unique opportunity for those interested in helping others develop communication and interpersonal skills and empathy, as well as clinical and physical exam skills; no prior experience is necessary.

Responsibilities and Duties
• Realistically portray patient/clinician (or otherwise) scenarios, including but not limited to history of chief complaint, affect/behavior, and physical findings
• Provide effective feedback- written, verbal, and checklist- to learners in teaching and testing situations
• Maintain quality control of teaching, testing, and other SPP events through observation opportunities
• Provide back-up support for activities in the event of last-minute scheduling and/or event design changes
• Assisting the SPP staff as needed in the execution of simulation events, including set-up, breakdown, and proctoring
• Adherence to University, UPSOM, and SPP policies and procedures, as well as practicing confidentiality and discretion regarding learner performance and other educational information

All SPs will receive extensive training at the beginning of their employment, as well as additional skill development opportunities throughout their time in the program. Some case and materials study may be required prior to any scheduled work.
