Three Northern California Medical Schools (Stanford, UCSF and UC
Davis) are looking for Caucasian male actors age 50+ to work as
Standardized Patients for an interactive role-playing clinical skills exam
for medical students. Standardized Patients are healthy people who are
trained to play the role of a patient suffering from a specific medical
condition. Medical students interview and perform basic physical exam
maneuvers (taking blood pressure, measuring pulse rate, listening to heart
and lungs, etc.) on Standardized Patients during examinations to
demonstrate student mastery of basic clinical skills. Students are graded
on both their medical knowledge (Are they asking the right questions to
arrive at an appropriate diagnosis?) and their bedside manner (Can they
treat patients with sensitivity and respect?)
We need people who are willing to work at all three schools. Training will
take place in April and the project will run:
At UCSF late May-Early June
At Davis in July
At Stanford in Sept.
Work days range from 3-5 hours. Each actor will work approximately 20 days
between April and Sept. (There will be almost no work in Aug)
If you are willing to travel to all three schools and are interested in
finding out more about this project, please email your headshot and resume
to julianne@stanford.edu or send mail to:
