Position Summary
The Michigan State University College of Human Medicine’s Office of Academic Affairs invites applications for a multidiscipline educator in the basic sciences. In 2016, the College of Human Medicine (CHM) implemented an innovative new curriculum, envisioned to be responsive to the needs of students and faculty in a new technological era and a new medical landscape. This new curriculum, the Shared Discovery Curriculum, provides integrated content organized around patient complaints and concerns. It is an experience-based curriculum where medical students learn by doing. The ideal candidate would be a diverse multidiscipline educator with a demonstrated background and interest in expanding their teaching portfolio in the basic medical sciences (physiology, microbiology, immunology, genetics, histology, neuroscience, anatomy and pathology).
As part of the implementation, the college has created clinical experiences starting soon after students matriculate integrating basic and social science throughout the experiences that are immediately relevant to the clinical work in which students are engaged. During the first year, students are placed in primary care settings throughout Lansing and Grand Rapids communities. This is known as the Early Clinical Experience. Second year students rotate through several different types of clinical settings including respiratory therapy, hospice and palliative care, pediatric wards, adult wards, and emergency medicine as the Middle Clinical Experience. The Late Clinical Experiences include clerkships in the primary specialties and elective rotations and occurs in the community campuses across Michigan (Marquette, Traverse City, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Flint, Midland, and Southeast Michigan). In addition to the integrated curriculum during the clinical experiences, students engage in intensive study of basic sciences, epidemiology, health policy and other social sciences during the intersessions which are part of the spring semesters of both the Early and Middle Clinical Experiences. The Late Clinical Experience includes the Advanced Skills and Knowledge courses which span the entire last two years.
The candidate will collaborate with fellow basic science, social science and clinical educators to continue the integration of concepts throughout the curriculum; and serve as content expert and leader in developing specific educational and assessment materials to be delivered in a variety of student-centered and online pedagogies. It is expected, that the candidate will teach clinically relevant material, facilitate large and small group instruction and actively support the longitudinal integration of basic science disciplines.
