HJF is seeking a Standardized Patient to support the Simulation Center in roles and tests.
This position will be in support of The Suicide Care, Prevention, and Research Initiative (Suicide CPR Initiative) within the Medical and Clinical Psychology (MPS) department of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland. The Suicide CPR Initiative was established in 2006, and is strategically in a unique position to focus on the problem of military suicide, given its origins at USU and its established partnerships with the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs, as well as national and international collaborators and stakeholders. Overall, the mission of the Suicide CPR Initiative is threefold: CARE: To develop effective interventions targeted at reducing suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors; PREVENTION: To save lives through education, intervention, science, and advocacy; RESEARCH: To advance suicide intervention science and practice.
The SPs will play an essential role in simulation training for the Suicide CPR Initiative’s funded project titled “Chaplains-CARE”. The Chaplains-CARE Program is an innovative educational curriculum designed specifically for military chaplains to enhance their suicide intervention knowledge, skills and abilities. The Chaplains-CARE Program consists of classroom-based didactic instruction completed by simulated encounters with servicemembers. The SPs will be trained to portray military service members in interactions with military chaplains, and provide feedback regarding the learner’s conduct and response.
This position is part-time, intermittent, with periodic bookings for up to two years. This will be a remote position supporting activities conducted at the USUHS Val G. Hemming Simulation Center located in Silver Spring, Maryland.
