Adjunct Instructor A&P

This position emphasizes immersive, technology-enhanced learning. The instructor will integrate XR (extended
reality) anatomy simulation into lectures and labs, allowing students to explore human body systems in three dimensions and connect
structure and function to real-world patient care. Training in the use of the holograph XR simulation will be provided to faculty by
Director of the Center for Academic Innovation.

Compensation

Compensation is per course/credit hour in
accordance with the college's adjunct pay scale: $ 1000 per credit hour for each course with weekend differential.
