About this role
UTHealth Houston is looking for a Coordinator I for Educational Programs to work with our Office of Interprofessional Education and Practice. Your goal will be to advise and help create educational content that this area will use across our seven different schools. This material can be accessed synchronously or asynchronously by students. It will involve simulations and specific coursework. We require someone who has completed at least a Bachelor’s degree and is interested in curriculum development. You will support the coordination of educational programs and the scheduling of events. There is a very administrative slant to this role, and you will be setting up Zoom meetings, sending links, corresponding with participants, and working with the learning management system Canvas. Experienced candidates with experience in virtual learning or online teaching are preferred, those who have assisted with education taught on Zoom or online. A background in public health or the medical field is an asset, but not a requirement. This coordinator will need to be flexible, as the program is always incorporating new technology and learning how to utilize these tools. You will constantly be working with new models of approaching curriculum and new coursework. This is a hybrid position, and you will need to come to the office as required by programs. You will also be expected to help run activities and simulations at various sites as needed. The average salary for this role is expected to be around $50,000. What we do here changes the world.
