"Assistant Professor Specialty Medicine (.3 FTE)"

This is a part-time (0.3 FTE, average 12 hours per week) academic position focused entirely on the education of medical students. There are no assigned clinical responsibilities with this role. Preference is given to applicants with medical or surgical subspecialty, radiology, or neurology training. The successful candidate will teach both specialty-specific content aligned with their expertise and more general undergraduate medical education topics across the preclinical and clinical curriculum. These duties span multiple aspects of medical student education and are well suited to experienced DO/MD candidates with a strong interest in teaching.

What you’ll do:

• Teach specialty-specific content aligned with the candidate’s training and expertise within the prescribed preclinical curriculum (College of Osteopathic Medicine and other programs), as well as contribute to broader undergraduate medical education topics across the curriculum. Educational activities may include relevant organ systems, physical diagnosis, standardized patient encounters, ultrasound laboratory sessions, and medical and surgical simulation.
• Prepare and deliver educational content to students in both formal classroom settings and other instructional formats. Flexibility and willingness to teach general UME topics outside of one’s specialty area are expected.
• Collaborate within the department and across programs to support curriculum development and delivery for both specialty-related and general medical education content, including providing curricular framework for students on clinical rotations related to the faculty member’s specialty. Acting as a clinical preceptor is not a requirement of this role.
• Serve as an academic advisor to osteopathic medical students and provide guidance to students pursuing medical or surgical subspecialty careers. Support applicable student organizations as appropriate.

What we are looking for:

• D.O. degree from a COCA accredited college of osteopathic medicine or M.D. degree from LCME accredited school of allopathic medicine.
• Current board certification by applicable boards.
• Prior academic experience in a medical school setting or residency training program desirable.
• Four years of experience in medical practice preferred.
• Faculty member is expected to maintain an active clinical practice.
• Possess license to practice in the State of Iowa or be eligible to gain license to practice in the State of Iowa.
