The Standardized Patient (SP) at the Georgetown University School of Medicine simulates patient scenarios to provide professional educational experiences for medical students, for both learning and assessment around their physical exam techniques and patient communication/interpersonal skills. SPs are trained in advance of any student interaction. SPs are required to portray (from memory) a specific patient case (medical history, physicality, emotional state, etc.)

with realism, consistency and accurate recall after an interaction. SPs often provide verbal and/or written feedback to learners.

SP work is intermittent “as needed,” and work hours will vary, dependent upon course schedules and objectives. Most work will take place on weekdays.
