Standardized Patient Employment Opportunities
Are you interested in becoming a Standardized Patient (SP), Genitourinary Teaching Associate (GTA, or GUTA) or Physical Exam Teaching Associate (PETA)?
The CEC hosts orientations for prospective SPs three times a year as a first step in the employment process.
Prospective GTAs are required to view a video prior to interview and participation in an orientation session. Interviews are scheduled on an individual basis with Rose Zaeske.
PETAs are currently selected from the pool of SPs and GTAs.
After orientation, the individual selected to be hired as an SP or GTA must conform to all requirements to become a Casual Employee of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, which requires a completion of high school, a JHU application and TB testing. The CEC requires that employees sign a Consent and Non-disclosure Agreement regarding photography, videotaping, cases and protocols.
Do not go directly to the Human Resource Deparment. Please contact the Clinical Education Center.
