Become a Reproductive Health Teaching Associate (RHTA)

As a Reproductive Health Teaching Associate (RHTA), you’ll play a vital role in training future healthcare providers to perform sensitive reproductive health exams with care and respect. RHTAs guide students through pelvic, breast/chest, penile, and other sensitive exams in a supportive and professional environment, ensuring learners develop essential skills while prioritizing patient comfort. Your unique perspective as a real person enhances this impactful educational experience.

What You Will Do:

  • Self-Advocacy: Communicate your needs to ensure a safe and respectful environment.
  • Stay “In Character”: Primarily act as yourself, occasionally portraying a patient case, with your safety always prioritized.
  • Provide Feedback: Share constructive insights on student communication and overall comfort.
  • Professionalism: Maintain a supportive atmosphere, use accurate anatomical terms, and respect personal boundaries.

RHTAs receive comprehensive training and are compensated at a higher rate for this important work. Your contributions will help shape compassionate, skilled healthcare professionals equipped to provide exceptional care. Ready to make a difference? Apply today!
