Standardized Patient (SP) Educator, Knoxville

The Standardized Patient (SP) Educator manages the recruitment, training, and operational delivery of human-simulation actors within the Clinical Exam Center at major campus hubs. This role ensures that live patient simulations are delivered with realistic accuracy and behavioral consistency. In a matrixed shared-services deployment model, this position functions under a dual-reporting framework. While reporting administratively to the centralized Director of Simulation and SP Programming, the SP Educator operates under the direct functional, day-to-day programmatic supervision of the local Program Director (or designated program faculty) during the planning, dry-running, and execution of program-specific curricular events to satisfy programmatic staff adequacy and autonomy standards (e.g., ARC-PA Standards A2.11 and A2.12).
