This faculty position will be responsible for the primary instruction and coordination of EMS courses, student evaluation, and special components of EMS training, including but not limited to clinical education, where students participate in experimental learning within the local pre-hospital EMS and hospital systems in the greater Albuquerque area. The faculty position requires an ability to facilitate and manage multiple priorities, effectively analyze a range of educational situations, and make sound decisions using effective time management skills. This position maintains a climate of open communication, collegiality, and teamwork within the EMS program. The faculty ensures the availability of our unique learning opportunities for students and is the first line of support for students. These individuals have a responsibility for teaching, curriculum development, course scheduling, student learning outcomes assessment, professional development, institutional service, and community relations. In addition to the EMS Academy, our Department of Emergency Medicine has 65+ full-time and part-time attending physicians, and is also home to an outstanding EM Residency, EMS Fellowship, International Mountain Medicine Center, and Center for Disaster Medicine. The University is located in the beautiful mountain west at the intersection of unique and diverse cultures.
