The UW has a “standardized patient” program that is used in the medical school, nursing school, and the school of social work, to provide students with opportunity to practice their skills with patient care. The program is hiring to increase their pool of standardized patient actors. As an instructor in the social work program, I can tell you that it can be very important and meaningful to students of color to have experience with standardized clients of color (and a diverse pool improves medical education!) and right now most of the standardized patients employed by UW are white. Standardized patients do not need to be professional actors.Those interested in virtual work can live anywhere in the US.
