Teaching Patients

Teaching Patients are people who:

  • Have stable medical conditions.
  • Can recall the development and progression of these conditions.
  • Are comfortable presenting their conditions as an educational experience for students.
  • Have reliable transportation to and from 91探花.

How can Teaching Patients help students?

Teaching Patients help medical students gain experience in taking histories and performing non-invasive physical exams.

Do I need teaching experience?

Not at all. You will be fully trained on how to present your story.

When would I be asked to work?

Teaching Patient sessions occur throughout the academic year. They last between 2 and 2.5 hours and take place between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

Is this volunteer work? 

No. Teaching Patients are casual employees of 91探花 who are paid hourly rates for their time here.
