Careers @ WAUSM

Reporting to the Director, Center for Academic Success (CAS), WAUSM is seeking a Pre-Clerkship Learning Specialist to support medical students in optimizing their learning strategies, study habits, test-taking skills and performance outcomes. As a member dedicated to the CAS, you will collaborate closely with faculty, administrators, and students to help ensure that educational goals are met effectively. This role is pivotal for fostering student success across all four (4) years of medical school and ensuring that students become lifelong learners who are well-prepared for their careers. By providing targeted support and resources to students, you will contribute significantly to the educational mission of WAUSM and the overall quality of medical education.

WAUSM provides an exciting opportunity for individuals that wish to join an energetic team of medical educators that are committed to expanding our fresh, new, dynamic, and innovative medical education program. Our students study medicine in a highly integrated, systems-based, hybrid curriculum that incorporates active learning strategies into large and small group settings. With a powerful focus on active, case-based learning; robust simulation; and early exposure to clinical patients, WAUSM students receive an integrated learning experience with individualized support that prepares them to excel in the clerkship portion of their studies, and beyond. We seek outstanding, team-oriented individuals who will share our excitement for furthering this dynamic and innovative educational program. The pre-clerkship foundational sciences program consists of a 5-semester (15 weeks per term) model of instruction with basic science concepts and competencies related to patient centered care integrated and woven throughout. Students then transition to the US to complete the clerkship program consisting of clinical rotations (75 weeks) which provide opportunities to shadow physicians and residents, have direct access to patients, and gain valuable hands-on experience.

WAUSM operates on three terms per year with a new class of students matriculating each term and students advancing to the clerkship program at the same rate. Therefore, teaching duties and administrative responsibilities continue throughout the year. A focus on teaching, student learning and support is paramount, and we look to individuals who can provide excellence in these areas. This position is located in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island.
