About The Position

The Director of Phase 3 Curriculum is a senior educational leader responsible for the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the final phase of the BYU School of Medicine curriculum. Phase 3 is an 18-month immersion phase, which includes advanced clinical experiences, acting internships, electives, structured career development, the transition-to-residency course, the longitudinal Global Medical Practice and Applied Research course, and the 8-12-week Global Health & Research Immersive Experience (“Immersive Experience”) in a global health setting abroad or domestically. The Phase 3 Director also serves as course director for the Immersive Experience. The Director reports to the Associate Dean of Curriculum and collaborates closely with the Associate Dean of Global Health & Humanitarian Service and the Associate Dean of Research. The Director also works closely with the Phase 2 Director to ensure alignment and continuity in the operational structure of electives, selectives, and other clerkship rotations, leveraging the frameworks and processes established in Phase 2. The Director of Phase 3 Curriculum will also work closely with course directors, faculty mentors, clerkship directors, global partners, and administrative leaders to ensure students successfully transition from medical school to residency through advanced clinical training, residency preparation, career development, scholarly activity, humanitarian service, and global health experiences. As course director for the Immersive Experience, the Phase 3 Director provides direct leadership for the course’s design, implementation, administration, assessment, and continuous improvement. This is a full-time faculty position, designed for a physician educator with experience in undergraduate medical education, clinical training, student mentorship, and experiential learning in global health. This position will support the mission of the School of Medicine to "provide a spiritually grounded and scientifically rigorous education for physicians who will minister to God’s children throughout the world as healers, teachers, researchers, leaders, and disciples of Jesus Christ." The BYU School of Medicine is a newly established organization within the university.
