Simulated Patients

Cape Breton Medical Campus is hiring Simulated Patients (SPs) to support clinical education for undergraduate medical students. SPs are community members trained to realistically and consistently portray a patient in a standardized clinical scenario. This includes simulating the historical, physical, and emotional aspects of a patient encounter to help learners practice their clinical, communication, and professional skills.

You do not need to have experience as an actor or have any medical background. What matters most is your ability to follow training, portray roles consistently, and work professionally with learners and faculty. Comprehensive training is provided for every case.

This is a casual, on-call position with flexible hours. SPs are contacted as needed and may accept or decline each opportunity. Most opportunities occur during the academic year (September–May), with occasional training sessions and workshops outside that period.
