Position Summary Information


Primary Purpose
Advanced Standardized Patients ( ASP) are trained for the more sensitive medical examinations, including pelvic, genital, rectal, and breast examinations. These are scheduled less frequently, generally three to four (3-4) times a year. ASPs that participate in these types of examinations will be expected to fully disrobe to the appropriate level for these types of exams. A faculty chaperone will always be present with the ASP during these types of examinations and no video recordings will be taken, however, an audio recording may be made.

Participation in sensitive examinations is completely elective on the part of the ASP whose services may be requested, and the decision as to which SP examination protocols are being staffed is solely with the Program Director. ASPs may elect to perform or not perform sensitive examinations at any time.
