Position Description
HMS MEDscience’s mission is to address the inspiration gap in STEM education by providing students with opportunities to enhance the necessary 21st Century skills for success in their academic and future careers. Our vision is that all students, regardless of background, education, or zip code, should have equal opportunities in education and the sciences. Our program immerses students in realistic and dynamic simulated medical emergencies that promote teamwork and problem-solving skills. HMS MEDscience engages over 3,000 high school students through school-year and summer programs. 65% of the students who engage in school-year programming identify themselves as being part of a racial/ethnic group that is underrepresented in medicine.
The MEDscience Teacher I role is a position for an individual who is interested in teaching in our unique pedagogy. In addition to co-teaching classes, this individual will also support the growth of the organization by taking the lead on projects involving marketing and career exposure/public relations. This individual must be a team player who likes working in a fast-paced, dynamic, and highly interactive environment and who is looking for a challenging opportunity to learn and grow with support.
Our medical simulations require teachers to take on the roles of instructor, attending physician, patient, and/or counselor to students as they diagnose patients. The clinical skills in the MEDscience curriculum requires teachers to be able to work with a variety of medical simulation equipment and communicate proper technique to students. Additionally, the teacher must be able to create a welcoming space for students with varying educational needs.
