Simulation Clinical Nurse Actor

Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine in Provo, UT is hiring a Simulation Clinical Nurse Actor for PRN work supporting medical education simulations. This role sits within the college’s simulation program, where performers portray nurses and clinical team members in scripted, scenario-based training productions designed to be recorded or observed live. It suits healthcare professionals with a background in nursing, emergency medicine, or allied health who are comfortable performing on camera or in live simulation environments.

About the Role

The Simulation Clinical Nurse Actor works inside Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine’s clinical simulation department, performing in examination room, inpatient, outpatient, and emergency healthcare scenarios built for osteopathic medical students. Productions range from live observed sessions to recorded simulation content used across the curriculum. A typical day involves reviewing scenario scripts and clinical objectives, then performing consistent, coached portrayals of nursing workflows while students work through diagnostic and patient care exercises.

Key Responsibilities

• Review scripts, clinical scenario details, and learning objectives before each simulation session to ensure accurate, consistent character portrayal.
• Perform standardized nursing behaviors and clinical workflows across a range of simulated healthcare settings, including emergency and inpatient environments.
• Remain in character and respond appropriately to student actions during both live simulation and recorded production sessions.
• Take direction from simulation faculty and staff, incorporating coaching notes between takes or scenario runs.
• Maintain strict confidentiality regarding case content and student performance, consistent with medical education production standards.
• Arrive prepared and on time for scheduled simulation productions, with reliable local transportation for any campus-based call times.

What You Bring

• Clinical nursing experience is preferred, and a current nursing license strengthens your application.
• EMTs, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and medical assistants are also considered for the Simulation Clinical Nurse Actor role.
• Prior work in standardized patient programs, medical simulation, healthcare education, or on-camera performance is useful but not required.
• Strong communication, adaptability, and attention to clinical detail across varied scenario types.
• Ability to perform physical simulation tasks including standing, walking, bending, and occasional lifting under 35 pounds.

Why This Role

Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine runs a structured simulation curriculum that gives performers consistent, well-organized session work with faculty-led coaching built into every production. The PRN schedule makes this a practical fit for healthcare professionals who want occasional performance work without committing to a fixed weekly schedule.
