Job Summary Section
Reporting to the Program Director, the Standardized Patient is someone who has been trained to simulate, in a consistent, realistic, standardized manner, a patient (or family member) in a medical situation. Standardized Patients, or "SPs," are used by Temple's Lewis Katz School of Medicine, and by many other medical institutions for teaching and assessment of students.
Essential Functions
- SPs learn a case, based on a real patient other than themselves, and are interviewed and examined by students as though they were that person in the doctor's office or clinic, giving that patient's history, and simulating their physical signs, such as pain or difficulty walking.
- No invasive examinations are performed; no medications are given; no sharps are used.
- Comfort with wearing a hospital gown and receiving non-invasive physical exams is required.
- Some activities require SPs to provide patient-centered feedback to students.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
