Summary of Duties:
Reporting to the Director of Simulations for the Center for Experiential Learning in the College of Nursing, the Standardized Patient (SP) Coordinator holds a vital role in the experiential learning of nursing students.

Administering the full life cycle of SP's includes recruiting/auditioning, making hiring recommendations, training, coaching, supervising and scheduling. They will also ensure background checks and annual compliance training are complete and tracked.
