Instructor, Doctor of Medical Sciences Program

The College of Idaho invites applications for part-time instructors to develop and/or teach one or
more courses as part of the College’s new Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) program, an online,
asynchronous program with the mission to provide PAs with knowledge and competencies to
contribute to advance their careers across a range of health care roles and systems. The program
will welcome its first students in the summer of 2024.
The College seeks experienced faculty members to develop and/or teach courses in the field of
health systems science (evidence-based practice, equitable delivery of health care, health care
finance and delivery systems, etc.). When developing courses, expectations include: facilitate active
student learning through online delivery; leverage multiple asynchronous learning modalities
(instructional audio and video content, innovative required reading, engaging discussion board
prompts, and application-based assignments) to facilitate the development of doctorate level
competencies; and design assessment measures commensurate with course requirements. When
teaching courses, expectations include: establishing and maintaining a motivating environment for
adult learners by offering effective feedback consistently and timely; developing a relationship with
students by engaging in weekly online discussions and critical feedback on assignments; evaluating
student progress by timely grading of course content; and if relevant, providing guidance and
encouragement during the scholarly project experience by fostering a knowledgeable and positive
perspective for quality improvement in the healthcare environment.
The College of Idaho is committed to providing equitable, high impact learning opportunities and to
embracing the cultural and diversity of our region. This a remote position and therefore provides
