About The Position

This position is for a Sessional Lecturer to teach SIMU 2000U: Intro to Sim Ops & Clin Learning Environments during the Spring Summer 2026 term. The course is an intensive two-week program running from July 20, 2026, to August 1, 2026. The lecturer will be required to be on-site daily for approximately 8 hours per day at Lakeridge Health Oshawa or Ontario Tech University. The role involves developing, delivering, and coordinating a Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) course that spans university (lecture and lab) and practicum environments. Responsibilities include coordinating WIL practicums, supporting students in real-world learning environments, implementing innovative assessment approaches, and collaborating with the program team on quality improvement. The course description highlights hands-on exposure to healthcare practice through structured shadowing in critical care and perioperative settings, observation of interprofessional teamwork, technology use, and communication practices. Students will connect observations to simulation-based education principles and reinforce experiences through simulation lab sessions. The course culminates in a collaborative simulation project. This position is part of the bargaining unit represented by PSAC.
