Are there any other Volunteer Patients on this site?

Both my Primary Care Physician and Dermatologist are female. They both know I am a nudist. On several occasions my Primary Care Physician had a Physician Assistant watch and sometime participate during my physical examination.
One day she asked if I would be a Volunteer Patient (SEE BELOW) at a class she teaches. I agreed. I knew my dermatologist also taught classes. I told her about being a Volunteer Patient for my PCP. She asked if I would do the same for her. I agreed. The Examinations took place in their office examination rooms.

Volunteer Patients
Volunteer Model patients are members of the general public who make a unique and valuable contribution to the education and training of future doctors.
Volunteer patients participate as themselves to help medical students learn and practice interviewing, medical history-taking and basic physical exams under the watchful guidance of a fully-qualified physician.
The volunteers give students the opportunity to learn skills that are real and memorable, which would not be possible if they were learning it from a book or a plastic model.

Now this is a good idea! I often wondered how they did that as part of their training.

I've had a few doctors ask if it was okay for another doc-in-training to be present while examining or interviewing, and once for a colonoscopy. I always say yes because, I mean, really, what does it matter? However, I've never actually volunteered to be a patient.

Again if a trainee doctor/nurse was present and wanted to see my examination it wouldn't bother me the slightest bit.

I am more than a willing volunteer and have been trying to find a way to work part time as a medical model for exams and procedures. I have had students brought into the room by my dermatologist and urologist because I am open in my discussion with them about my nudism. I also was asked by my last waxer if would volunteer for new waxer training, waiting for that opportunity. I do nude figure modeling already for the colleges and artists and when I was taking massage classes I was the demo model for the instructor since was more than comfortable with not covering up after getting off table.

This sounds like a great opportunity. Is there a site or location where one can volunteer?

I have heard about medical models and have been trying to find this niche locally here in NH and no luck so far.
