About - Department of medical Education

The Department of Medical Education was established as a department within the Melbourne Medical School in 2015.  It has responsibility for the delivery of the Doctor of Medicine (MD) course, research in medical education and a range of professional development postgraduate and non-award programs.

As the first Australian professional entry master's level program, the Melbourne MD creates a new benchmark in 21st-century medical education.  It delivers advanced clinical and academic training to ensure students are prepared for the challenges of a high-quality medical internship.  The MD is a 4-year program with an intake of approximately 350 students per year.  The degree is delivered through our Parkville campus, metropolitan and rural Clinical Schools, and partner organisations.

About the Role

The Learning Design Assistant will play a vital support role within the Doctor of Medicine’s Redesign learning design team based in the Department of Medical Education at The University of Melbourne.  The aim of the role is to provide the incumbent with a broad range of training and experience in all aspects of the learning design process; whilst also providing critical support to our busy team in building content into Canvas LMS, proofing and testing of content, supporting template development or production coordination, amongst other key tasks where necessary and to allow the team to deliver the program on time and within specifications. 

The Learning Design Assistant will work in close collaboration with the MD Redesign project team, as well as academics and professionals across the Department and the broader University community. The incumbent will support the MD Redesign Project Lead and Senior Learning Designer in ensuring a productive and collaborative working environment and will work alongside subject coordinators and academic staff who are involved in the delivery of the MD Program within the Department of Medical Education as well as a range of stakeholders including clinical school staff and academic staff who deliver a range of support functions which contribute to the effective management of students and the MD.
