Job description

Join the HJF Team!

 

The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing military medicine. We serve military, medical, academic and government clients by administering, managing and supporting preeminent scientific programs that benefit members of the armed forces and civilians alike.  Since its founding in 1983, HJF has served as a vital link between the military medical community and its federal and private partners. HJF's support and administrative capabilities allow military medical researchers and clinicians to maintain their scientific focus and accomplish their research goals.

 

HJF is seeking a  Standardized Patient Educator to support the Suicide CPR Initiative at the Uniformed Services University through work conducted at the Val G Hemming (VGH) Simulation Center. The Standardized Patient Trainer will assist with the creation and execution of medical education simulation activities incorporating Standardized Patients (SP), specifically for a project funded to develop and evaluate an evidence-informed suicide intervention skills training program, Chaplains-CARE. This training program will be tailored specifically for military chaplains to better support them in their current role as "gateways" to care for suicidal Service members. The Standardized Patient Trainer will help to create, develop, manage, and provide quality assurance for all SP simulation activities occurring at VGH. This is a project based-position set to conclude after approximately 2 years. 

 

This position will be in support of the Suicide CPR Initiative, previously known as the Laboratory for the Treatment of Suicide-Related Ideation and Behavior, which was established in 2006. Dr. Holloway, the Director of the Suicide CPR Initiative, is a clinical psychologist and an intervention scientist who is primarily interested in developing and empirically evaluating novel interventions for suicide risk reduction. The Suicide CPR Initiative is strategically in a unique position to focus on the problem of military suicide, given its origins at USU and its established partnerships with the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs, as well as national and international collaborators and stakeholders. Overall, the mission of the Suicide CPR Initiative is threefold: CARE: To develop effective interventions targeted at reducing suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors; PREVENTION: To save lives through education, intervention, science, and advocacy; RESEARCH: To advance suicide intervention science and practice.

 

Note: This work site requires that Non-US Citizen incumbents have lived in the US three out of the past five years.
