About The Position

The Associate Director of the Medical Student Global Health Track at the University of Colorado School of Medicine is responsible for working collaboratively with the Global Health Track Director, SOM faculty, curriculum deans, course directors, and other SOM personnel to implement, evaluate, and continuously improve a longitudinal, four-year Global Health Track aligned with the Trek medical student curriculum. The Global Health Track is a selective, longitudinal program that spans all four years of medical school and is designed to prepare students to engage thoughtfully, ethically, and effectively in global and underserved health contexts. The Track includes two required 10-week first-year courses (1-2 contact hours per week), one required global health elective from a menu of options, which can completed during the Alpine or summit years, longitudinal curricular elements embedded across required courses and Basecamps, mentored scholarly projects, and optional international and domestic experiential learning and research opportunities. The Associate Director will have primary responsibility for leading one of the required first-year Global Health courses and for overseeing, mentoring, and assessing the required Global Health scholarly projects. In collaboration with the Track Director, this role will also contribute substantially to the ongoing re-envisioning and refinement of Track goals, requirements, curricular placement, and assessment strategies to ensure alignment with the Trek curriculum, institutional priorities, and best practices in global health education.
