Primary Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with faculty across disciplines to design, implement, and evaluate student-centered, clinically integrated curriculum content in human physiology.
• Serve as a content expert and facilitator in large- and small-group learning environments, including team-based learning, case-based learning, and simulation.
• Develop and deliver high-quality instructional materials that integrate physiology with other foundational and clinical sciences.
• Assess student performance through formative and summative assessments, aligned with learning objectives and competency-based outcomes.
• Provide academic support and mentorship to students, including those pursuing scholarly work in areas related to physiology, medical education, or related disciplines.
• Engage in scholarship and contribute to the advancement of knowledge through educational research or discipline-based inquiry.
• Participate in departmental and college-level service, including course development, curriculum committees, accreditation preparation, and faculty governance.
