Standardized Patient-Hershey - University Park, United States - Penn State University
Description
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
The Penn State College of Medicine- Hershey is recruiting for Standardized Patients to work in the Simulation Center. This position will require on site work.
What is a Standardized Patient?
An SP is a healthy individual from the community who has been trained to portray, in a consistently reproducible manner, a patient/person in a medical and/or communication based situation.
SPs receive extensive training regarding clinical communication skills, educational expectations, and components of helpful verbal feedback and other logistics of the environment.
They study materials about the objectives and goals of the program in addition to a detailed story or "case" to portray, that is reflective of a real patient history or situation.
SPs engage with learners in carefully designed "role play" events as though they were a person seeking care in some way.
Because SPs are involved in both teaching and testing of a variety of professional learners, training allows SPs to approach the work organically and adjust in order to meet the goals of different tasks.
Standardization is most relevant to formal testing of learners and refers to the management process of SP training, event design, and materials development.
We train SPs to display an appropriate range of behaviors and use of personal judgement in order to ensure genuine and unique response to individual student skills.
SPs are able to:
Working as a Standardized/Simulated Patient (SP) provides a unique opportunity to be involved in shaping the education of tomorrow's physicians, health and other professionals.
Although not meant to substitute real patients, SPs offer a highly realistic, educational resource give prospective professionals first-hand experience of interacting with people and show the importance of connecting with others through effective communication.
Our SPs are tasked with portraying cases that fit their feedback skills, case portrayal abilities, and demographic requirements for specific cases.
SPs also have the opportunity to participate in the breast and pelvic exam sessions if desired.
The SP Program recruits candidates based on the upcoming needs of courses and events.
Our goal is to provide learners with the opportunity to practice with SPs who accurately represent real patients; therefore, we recruit all genders, all ages, from various ethnic groups, and with a wide-range of professional experience.
Desired Skills
The Pennsylvania State University is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of its forms.
