Toronto, Canada The Michener Institute of Education at UHN Full time

The Simulated Participant (SP) Program at The Michener Institute of Education at UHN is looking to expand our roster.

If you are looking for casual, part-time work opportunities, are empathetic and want to contribute to the education of student health care providers, this job might be a great fit.

A Simulated Participant (SP) is someone who can be coached or trained to accurately and consistently recreate the history, personality, physical findings, and/or emotions of an actual patient or client at a particular point in time. SPs are trained to provide immediate feedback, from the patient/client perspective and are essential to the education of health care professionals. Simulated Participants come from all walks of life: no acting background or previous SP experience is required, but dependability, basic computer knowledge, internet access, and empathy are essential. This job is not for everyone but offers part-time occasional opportunities for those who have flexible schedules during business hours, live in Toronto as in-person attendance is required, and are interested in contributing to the educational process.

SP work at Michener is part-time, sporadic and generally limited to ‘regular business hours’ (Mon-Fri). Weekend work is rare. Pay is between $22-25/hour, depending on the project.

Skills/attributes:

- excellent listener
- strong verbal communication skills
- strong memory and recall
- reliable and punctual
- comfortable being videotaped for educational purposes
- lack of bias towards the healthcare system
- willing to be coached on and provide feedback
- comfortable with light touch (no invasive examinations), physical positioning and wearing a hospital gown over undergarments

**Responsibilities**:

- prepare and memorize case materials
- portray a patient/client outside of own experience effectively and consistently.
- keep all information regarding case materials, students and other SPs confidential
- respectful to all learners, faculty members and staff

Michener is strongly committed to diversity within its community and welcomes all applicants including persons with disabilities, LGBTQ2s+ and anyone who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.

**Job Type**: Casual

**Salary**: $22.00-$25.00 per hour

Schedule:

- Monday to Friday

Work Location: In person
