Subject: Moulage Volunteer / Actor Specification
AustinATLS.org is hosting an ATLS® (Advanced Trauma Life Support®) class for healthcare professionals at the venue and and date outlined above, where we will need volunteers to portray trauma patients in an assessment scenario.
This is will require actors to be moulaged (make-up with fake wounds/injuries) and perform minimal acting - as you will be a mock “patient” (moaning in pain in response to the healthcare professionals interaction during their assessment).
Upon approval, additional timings will be given and specific instructions will provided on the event in order to cater for the variations of clinical experience amongst the healthcare professionals. All actors/volunteers will be reimburse monetarily at $70/day. We advise successful applicants to wear loose fitting clothes (that may get dirty) and bring water.
We look forward to your application, along with a completed W9 form uploaded to the application below. If you are below 18 years of age on the day of the event please complete upload a completed parental consent form.
