Indiana University Center for Interprofessional Health Education and Practice seeks faculty applications for new positions
Feb. 21, 2013
Dear Colleagues,
The recent establishment of the Indiana University Center for Interprofessional Health Education and Practice has created several unique opportunities for faculty to help shape interprofessional education and practice (IPE/P) at Indiana University.
The Center’s purpose is to foster an interdisciplinary approach to health care and education. The Center will be led by Dr. Judith Halstead, who serves as Director and three Associate Directors with a focus in one of three areas: curriculum development and integration; faculty development and leadership training; and outcome evaluation and scholarship.
The curriculum development and integration pillar will focus on creating and supporting IPE/P opportunities throughout the university, integrating the IPE/P model into school curricula.
The faculty development and leadership training pillar will work with interested faculty members to develop and strengthen their ability to utilize IPE/P in their teaching and course development.
The outcome evaluation and scholarship pillar will be responsible for evaluation efforts related to the Center and dissemination of outcomes and best practices developed at Indiana University through scholarly publication.
Each Associate Director will lead a committee of faculty members from across the health professions schools that will be responsible for one of the three areas mentioned above. Each Associate Director position will be a commitment of 25% time for the faculty member and appointments are expected to start June or July 1.
For more information on each of the Associate Director positions, please see the following position descriptions:
- Associate Director, Curriculum Development and Integration
- Associate Director, Faculty Development and Leadership Training
- Associate Director, Outcome Evaluation and Scholarship
Anyone interested in applying for an Associate Director position should send a letter of interest and CV to Ellen Burton, program manager for University Clinical Affairs, at esburton@indiana.edu by Friday, March 1.
I hope you will consider joining this exciting initiative and adding your talents to the great work of the Center for Interprofessional Health Education and Practice.
