The hospital said that they were forced to do nothing: every year a large number of medical students waiting for graduation need clinical practice, but no patients are willing to cooperate, so they have to recruit "fake patients" to accompany them.

As an internship hospital of the Medical Department of Suzhou University and other units, the hospital currently accepts internships of hundreds of medical graduates every year. Fewer and fewer, this will directly affect the quality and level of medical graduates. Recruiting "standardized patients" has other unfortunate difficulties. For example, patients and their families have higher and higher requirements for service levels such as diagnosis and treatment. A little attention will cause conflicts between doctors and patients.

Remuneration

Since more than a dozen recruitment announcements were officially released, the hospital has received a consultation call, and two of them have reached preliminary intentions with them. It is reported that the first hospital affiliated to Suzhou University plans to recruit 40 people, and after training, it plans to retain 15 people. According to the plan, starting from the interview and training, the hospital will pay a certain fee to the staff. Once the training and assessment pass, it will become the "standardized patient" of the hospital, and the hospital will arrange medical students according to the teaching plan "See a doctor" for these fake patients. Because "standardized patients" are part-time, the current plan is to provide them with about 40 yuan a class, or one yuan a minute.
