A Standardized Patient (SP) should effectively portray simulated medical conditions while interacting with medical students and physicians, communicating both verbally and in written form with an intelligent and professional manner.
The Clinical Performance Center runs projects throughout the academic year, as well as during the summer. Standardized Patients are hired on a project-by-project (case-by-case) basis. All SPs are hired as part-time hourly employees of the University of Illinois at Chicago. In order to be hired for a project, an SP must meet all of the patient criteria as described in the case written by a physician. Past or present medical conditions will not exclude you from participating in our program.
Training for each project is paid, and my take anywhere from 4-6 hours depending on the complexity of the case. Many of our cases include a physical exam performed by medical students or residents, which may require additional training. Projects can run up to a few hours to a few weeks in length and may occur on any weekday between 7:00am and 6:00pm (and occasionally on evenings or Saturdays).
The pay scale for Standardized Patients is as follows:
