WHAT YOU’LL DO IN THIS POSITION

​Job Summary:

The Clerkship Director for Surgery provides academic leadership, oversight, and continuous quality improvement for the required Phase 2 clerkship in Surgery within the BYU School of Medicine (BYU MED). This individual ensures the delivery of a Christ-centered, evidence-based clinical learning experience that meets LCME standards, upholds institutional values, and prepares students for compassionate, competent, and spiritually grounded medical practice. 

This position has three distinct phases. 

Phase 1: From now to the matriculation of the first school of medicine class, the role will focus on developing clerkship curriculum as a member of the Phase 2 working group. This is expected to require approximately 10% effort (0.1 FTE) and may be compensated on a contracted/stipend basis.  

Phase 2: From the matriculation of the first class until the start of Phase 2 Clerkships (~14 months), the focus will shift to recruitment, faculty development, and preparation of all resources needed for the clerkship.  This includes working with our clinical affiliates to develop the training environment, call rooms if needed, study and charting spaces. It also includes working with the curriculum committee and Phase 2 Director to develop didactic materials, required clinical experiences, and evaluate and improve the curriculum. This phase is expected to require approximately 20% effort (0.2 FTE) and will be compensated at the appropriate part-time rate.  

Phase 3: Once the students begin the clerkship, the role will focus on running the clerkship. This phase is expected to require approximately 40%
