About The Position

The Course Director for the Phase 2 Global Health, Research, and Medical Practice (GHRMP2) course will play a central role in shaping a distinctive global health and humanitarian service model for medical education at the Brigham Young University School of Medicine (BYU MED). The GHRMP2 course will build on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes students developed in the Phase 1 clinical medicine and global health longitudinal courses and supplement the clinical experience of clerkships in Phase 2 of the MD program. The GHRMP2 course director will oversee didactic and applied instruction in core global health and humanitarian principles; clinical skills, communication, and decision making; and principles of Christ-centered care. The course will emphasize case-based learning, learning laboratories, and simulation-based education. The GHRMP2 Course Director will not be responsible for the experiential research component of this longitudinal course; this will be the purview of a research-focused co-course director.
