What does an SP do?
SPs are trained to act as a patient, family member, fellow professional, or community member in a training simulation for medical or government institutions.
Trainees work with SPs to navigate complex situations they will encounter in their profession while honing their communication and critical thinking skills.
SP events typically last a few hours and take place Monday - Friday between 8:00am and 5:00pm.
Perks:
Part-time opportunity
Great side job with flexible hours
Free bus pass for work on UNMC campus
Virtual and in-person events
