An example of standardized patient recruitment

A hospital in Suzhou began to openly recruit "standardized patients" from June 20 10, and the recruitment threshold was not low. Not only college degree or above is required, but also some performance experience is required. The hospital said that they were really forced: every year, a large number of medical students waiting to graduate need clinical practice, but no patients are willing to cooperate, so they have to recruit "fake patients" to accompany them. Recruitment requirements: Applicants must be in good health, aged 20-65 years old, with no history of hepatitis or tuberculosis, and have a strong interest in medicine, regardless of gender. Among them, college degree or above is preferred, performance experience is preferred, teachers with certain teaching experience and medical background are preferred, and Suzhou hukou is preferred.

Mainly provide clinical practice for interns. As an internship hospital of the medical department of the Soviet Union University, the hospital currently accepts hundreds of medical graduates' internships every year. However, due to patients' uncooperative, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for clinical practice for graduates, which will directly affect the quality and level of medical graduates. There are other inevitable difficulties in recruiting standardized patients. For example, patients and their families have higher and higher requirements for service levels such as diagnosis and treatment. If they are not careful, it will cause conflicts between doctors and patients. What worries them even more is that patients and their families have a growing awareness of rights protection. If they are not satisfied, they will complain and even go to court.

Part time remuneration

Since more than a dozen recruitment announcements were officially released, the hospital has received consultation calls, and two applicants have reached preliminary intentions with them. It is reported that the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University plans to recruit 40 people, and plans to retain 15 people after training. According to the plan, the hospital will pay candidates a certain fee from the interview and training. Once they pass the training and assessment, they will become "standardized patients" in the hospital, and the hospital will also arrange medical students to "see a doctor" for these fake patients according to the teaching plan. As the "standardized patients" are part-time, the compensation currently planned for them is about one class in 40 yuan, that is, one yuan per minute.
