What Others Are Saying About SPN Courses:
Anonymous Participant Feedback
“The best thing about this course is that I can work through it at my own pace, it's logical. You can see how the ideas build. And the access to resources is great. Actually, they're fantastic. I've now drafted my first SP role.”
NICK BLACK
“I'm an OSCE examiner and I've always wondered who wrote the SP roles or the stations. This course has made it really clear to me who should write them and how. I just never thought about getting patients and SPS involved with clinicians. It's obvious now.”
Nick Black
“Straight forward guidance on writing SP roles from experienced practitioners. There's an honesty about the content - what's hard and what's easy.”

Objective: This online 3 hour CE course outlines approaches to creating roles for simulated patient (standardized patient) methodology.
Summary: This course introduces approaches to writing SP roles. This task is fundamental to SP work - usually a text document (sometimes with audiovisual supplements), the written SP role provides guidance to the SP about their character, the purpose of the scenario, their health issue (or other relevant information). You're introduced to a wide range of resources with core and extension work. Throughout the course, you're encouraged to make meaning of the content for your own setting.

Objective: This online 3 hour CE course outlines approaches for training simulated patients, aka standardized patients.
Summary: Module 3 introduces approaches to training SPs for role portrayal. There is no one right way to do this. We share approaches that we have used for many years and others that are documented in literature. The approaches are sufficiently flexible to suit the different contexts in which SPs work. They are engaging and the 4-stage approach is informed by performance theory. We also share techniques that help SPs to remember aspects of their roles for portrayal. You're introduced to a wide range of resources with core and extension work by experts in the field. Throughout the course, you're encouraged to make meaning of the content for your own setting.

Objective: This online 3 hour CE course outlines approaches to managing a Standardized Patient program.
Summary: Module 4 introduces core facets of simulated participant (SP) program management – whether a program is small or large, beginning or mature. Some of you will be managing a program on your own while others will have a team in place. We focus on five areas: key aspects of SP program management, including the types of activities and roles and responsibilities of the person responsible for program management; SP recruitment; SP databases; challenges in managing SP programs; and program quality management. You're introduced to a wide range of resources with core and extension work by experts in the field. Throughout the course, you're encouraged to make meaning of the content for your own setting.

SPN Course Participant Feedback
“I thought I knew what SPs did but this course has helped me understand the fundamentals and also the values that underpin the methodology. I'm a bit shocked by some of my own practices. I just didn’t see the impact of some of the things I've been doing for years. I feel confident that I'm on the right track now. Amazing.”
NICK BLACK
“My work gave me time to do the course. Otherwise, I don't think I would have done it now that I have, I don't know what I was thinking. It's transformed my approach to SP's - now I work with them rather than use them. Just by changing a couple of words, it changes the power in our relationship. It's helped me to see our work differently.”
Nick Black
“The authors are really experienced and it shows - they've obviously been doing this for a long time and they've selected important content to share. They also cut out what doesn't align with their values. It was a fresh look at SP work.”
