SP recruitment is designed to replace email sending, phone calls and spreadsheeting to facilitate your Standardized Patient coordinating process.

As part of the recruitment process:

  • create Cast Sheets that relate to a curriculum, class, subject, or any long term medical training project.  


    See How to Create Cast Sheets.

  • Inside a Cast sheet, create one or more Sessions that determine the exact date and time of specific simulated patient encounters.

    A Session must start and end on the same day.


    See How to Create Sessions.

  • Inside a Session, you can add one or multiple Cases to which SPs can be invited. Each Case corresponds to a single patient encounter. 



  • Search for SPs registered in your database by specific criteria such as age, sex, race, physical details, or qualifications



  • Once SP candidates submit their availability, you can finalize the recruitment process by confirming them for the simulated patient encounter: 
     

  • Stay in contact with SPs up to the day of the simulated patient encounter by creating a Chat group with the confirmed SPs:
