About The Position
The Program Operations Specialist reports directly to the Director for the Office of Regional Affairs & RIDE in the School of Dentistry and performs a wide range of diverse and specialized administrative and management activities to execute and control program operations. The employee regularly exercises independent judgment and discretion in work directly related to management policies or department business operations and has delegated authority to make commitments that affect the Office of Regional Affairs & RIDE operations and the School of Dentistry. The Program Operations Specialist for the Office of Regional Affairs/RIDE is responsible for managing the long term and daily operations of the office concerning all Seattle-based 2nd year Regional RUOP rotations and 4th year Service Learning Rotations (SLR), including operations associated with the program, process/quality improvement initiatives, event planning, and schedules. The Program Operations Specialist works under the direction and supports the Regional Clinical Director (faculty) who oversees the SLR program's strategic partnerships with community sites, clinical patient care experiences, and students' progress while on rotation. This position manages 10 to 15 - 2nd year RUOP rotations and all 65 - 4th year SLR rotations and requires robust oversight for the significant volume of students at remote community rotation sites. The incumbent must be able to set priorities and function independently in responding to conflicting deadlines and responding to faculty, staff, and students at UWSOD and our partners at community sites. The RUOP and SLR rotations create significant opportunities for dental students to provide oral health care to rural and underserved patients in our region, a top priority of the UWSOD as we fulfill our mission and that of the University of Washington to improve the health of the State's population. This position is vital in our work to execute this complex program and to ensure outreach rotations for all students.
