About The Position

Creighton University’s Health Sciences Campus is home to six unique healthcare
programs, all of which use simulation to develop student learning. Part of
simulation includes Standardized Patients (SP) for simulated clinical
encounters, physical exams and more!

Standardized Patients are people who portray patients in educational simulated
encounters with students. In this role, you will be trained to recreate physical
characteristics, memorize and present medical history, and have physical exams
performed. You will also be trained to provide feedback to students on their
communication skills. Being a Standardized Patient impacts the students’
experience during their education and can be greatly rewarding.

SPs will be asked to attend mandatory training which could be in person or via
zoom. The events themselves will mostly be in-person with a few zoom encounters
possible. Any in-person event will be at Creighton’s Werner Health Sciences
Center located on 2616 Burt Street Omaha NE 68178.

Note: This position is a temporary part-time position, working various hours and
is not benefit eligible.

Hours are flexible and depend on which events an SP chooses to participate in.
Most events occur Monday-Friday 8am-5pm.

For any additional information or questions, please fill out our application and
someone from the Creighton Simulation team will be in contact with you shortly.
