Standardized Patient
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract details.
Job Summary (About the role):
"Standardized Patients (SPs) work directly with students enrolled in the Speech-Language Pathology program with Drexel University’s College of Nursing and Health Professions and report to the Chair of the Speech-Language Pathology Department."
That's a sentence.
Essential Functions (Responsibilities):
List:
- SPs are trained to simulate and portray a patient or client in a medical or clinical situation with signs and symptoms of various diagnoses, consistent with the needs of each program.
- Character portrayals can include, but is not limited to, a family member of a patient in a hospital, a client in a counseling center, a patient about to undergo surgery or a medical procedure, or a patient in a doctor’s office setting.
- Typically, an SP will learn a case that is based on a real patient, then be interviewed by students as though they are in an actual medical setting (such as a doctor’s office, urgent care center, emergency department, counseling center, etc.).
- All encounters are non-invasive and do not include the use of sharps or medications.
- SPs are expected to provide a safe space for students to learn and perform skills.
- SPs must provide professional and constructive feedback to students and/or complete checklists after most encounters.
- This is a part-time, as-needed position with no set schedule and no minimum hours of work guaranteed. (But schedule we might put in Schedule section; but it's also part of essential functions. However we can keep it there or move to Schedule. To avoid duplication, maybe keep schedule in Schedule section only. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can mention schedule in Schedule section and not repeat in Responsibilities. However the essential functions includes that sentence; we could keep it there but then schedule section would duplicate. Better to keep schedule in Schedule section and not repeat. But we need to ensure we don't lose info: we will include schedule in Schedule section. So we can omit that sentence from Responsibilities.
Thus Responsibilities list items (excluding schedule sentence). We'll keep the rest.
Required Qualifications:
- Minimum of a HS Diploma or GED
- Minimum of 0-2 years of experience.
- Able to simulate a medical patient within designated parameters of each case assignment
- Solid communication skills
- Able to memorize scripts
- Willingness to undergo repeated physical examinations
- Ability to work with basic functions of a computer
- Ability to work comfortably with healthcare professionals and students
- Dependable and punctual
- Willingness to wear a patient/hospital gown with only undergarments underneath, while on camera and/or observed live through an observation window or video monitor
- Able to adjust portrayed characters as needed based on faculty feedback and guidance
- Maintains confidentiality of information related to cases, student behaviors, and feedback evaluations
Preferred Qualifications:
- Background in acting and/or improvisation
- Teaching or training experience
- Experience with Educational Management Solutions (EMS)
Physical Demands:
- Typically sitting at a desk/table
- Typically standing, walking
Location: Salus Campus - Elkins Park
Additional Information: This is a Part-Time casual position classified as Non-Exempt. The offered pay is based on the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience, department budget, and an internal equity review. For information about benefits, please review Drexel’s Per Diem/Casual/Temporary Benefit Fact Sheet.
Special Instructions: Please make sure you upload your CV/resume and cover letter when submitting your application. A review of applicants will begin once a suitable candidate pool is identified. Advertised: Sep 15 2026 Eastern Daylight Time Applications close: Oct 15 2026 Eastern Daylight Time
We must remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. Remove application instructions (Special Instructions to the Applicant) and dates etc. Also remove "Back to search results Apply now Refer a friend Whatsapp Facebook LinkedIn Email App". So we discard those.
We need to include location maybe in About the role or separate? Could be part of About the role? Not specified. Could add a
for location. But we have no heading for location; we could include it in About the role paragraph. Or we could add a separate section like "Location" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So location must go into one of those sections, perhaps About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph: include job summary and location.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title.
Now Skills section: we can extract skills from required qualifications: communication skills, memorization scripts, basic computer functions, etc. Could also include ability to work with healthcare professionals, dependable, punctual, confidentiality, etc. But many of those are more qualifications/requirements. The distinction between Requirements, Qualifications, Skills is fuzzy. We'll follow: Requirements = required qualifications (maybe). Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills = specific abilities like communication, memorization, computer basics, adjusting characters, etc. But we must not duplicate content. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can split but ensure no info lost.
Simplify: Use Requirements for required qualifications (including HS diploma, experience, etc). Use Qualifications for preferred qualifications. Use Skills for abilities like communication, memorization, computer basics, adjusting characters, confidentiality, etc. But some of those already in required qualifications; we risk duplication. However we could keep required qualifications as Requirements and not duplicate them elsewhere. Then Skills could be empty? Better to not create Skills section if it would be thin or duplicate. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Skills section and put those abilities under Requirements or Qualifications. But we already have Requirements for required qualifications; we could include communication etc there. That's fine.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Schedule.
We'll omit Benefits, Pay, Skills.
Now we need to format.
