Part-Time: Problem Based Learning Facilitator

Overview: Quinnipiac University's Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine invites applications for part-time faculty to serve as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) facilitators. PBL is a major instructional component of the Year 2 curriculum involving student-directed application of scientific and therapeutic principles toward solving complex medical problems. Collaborative and professional participation in this activity are essential components of PBL. PBL facilitators assist a small group of 7-8 second-year medical students who work through a clinical case each week. In addition to detailed facilitator guides for each case, facilitators attend weekly training sessions to become familiar with the content and ask any questions. A typical schedule for PBL facilitation is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:00 -10:00 am, including the weekly training session. The Year 2 curriculum is an integrated organ system-based curriculum and PBL facilitators are needed for various content blocks (2 to 6 weeks) throughout the year: Hematology-Oncology: September to October Heart-Lung-Kidney: October & November Breast-Genitourinary-Reproductive: December Gastrointestinal-Endocrine: January Neurology-Psychiatry: February to March Musculoskeletal & Integument: March About Quinnipiac: Quinnipiac is a private, coeducational, institution located 90 minutes north of New York City and two hours from Boston.
