School of Medicine and Public Health seeks Actors to Portray Patients

Acting opportunity: Becoming a standardized patient with the School of Medicine and Public Health

Paid part-time opportunity.

Must apply online.

Things to note: While acting experience is helpful, this work has nothing to do with finding dramatic moments or playing to an audience. Standardized patients role-play as a given patient character. This requires remembering details about the patient and creating a real conversation with the learner, using information that is provided. It is important to focus on the learning or assessment goals for the students while accurately portraying the patient.
