• Vendor Coordination: Assist in organizing quotes and documentation for medical equipment and

simulator maintenance contracts (working with vendors such as McKesson, Medline, or MedShipment).

• Equipment Care: Perform routine preventative maintenance, cleaning, and proper storage of

high-fidelity mannequins and delicate task trainers to maximize their lifespan.

Instructional & Faculty Support

• In-Sim Assistance: Serve as a standardized patient, embedded participant (voice of the patient),

or operate the simulator control software during active mock codes or clinical scenarios.

• Student Safety & Guidance: Monitor students for safe equipment usage in the lab during open lab

hours or independent practice sessions.

Required Skills & Experience:
