I. Global Health Teaching Associate Position for 2014-2015 Academic Year
The Global Health (GH) Teaching Associate leads the daily direction of the Weill Cornell Medical College Global Health Curriculum and oversees the program's continuing development. Launched in 2009, the Curriculum prepares our medical students to be future leaders in global health through a longitudinal elective program featuring didactic coursework, experiential learning, and a mentored pathway for engaging with resource-poor communities, internationally and domestically. The Curriculum is governed by a Steering Committee comprised of students, medical residents, and faculty from various divisions (e.g., the Office of Global Health Education, the Center for Global Health, and the Global Emergency Medicine Program).
For more information visit: med.cornell.edu/globalhealth and med.cornell.edu/international.
Working closely with faculty and student members of the Steering Committee, the GH Teaching Associate provides the overall direction for all activities related to developing and implementing the Curriculum. The GH Teaching Associate works closely with the Steering Committee and student-led subcommittees to develop policies and goals related to the program and to ensure that the program meets student-voiced needs and concerns. The GH Teaching Associate also acts as a resource to medical students interested in global health.
Starting in Fall 2014, Weill Cornell Medical College will initiate a new medical school curriculum. As part of this curriculum reform, students will select an area of concentration (AOC) that will require a scholarly project to be completed in 4th year. Global Health is one such AOC. The GH Teaching Associate will aide faculty in development, coordination, and management of courses and activities for the AOC in Global Health.
In addition, the GH Teaching Associate may spend ½ day per week of his or her time involved in service-related work with resource-poor populations in New York City. The faculty members of the Steering Committee will work with the GH Teaching Associate to find an appropriate placement and mentor to meet the interests and career goals of the Teaching Associate.
