Applicants should meet the following requirements:

• Flexible schedule and availability during weekdays. Most of our work occurs Monday-Friday 8 am – 6 pm.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Comfortable learning case details and role-playing with learners; training is provided
• Comfortable with non-invasive physical exams with small groups of learners

SP interviews usually take place twice a year.

As casual employees of MUN, SPs will be paid for their work.

What might disqualify you from being an SP:

• You fall within an age group that is already over-represented in the program
• You have a physical condition that might make it challenging to standardize you with other SPs (if so, please refer to our Teaching Patient program)
• You've been accepted into medical school or have written the MCAT in the past year.
• Your availability does not meet the needs of our program.
