About the opportunity
The School of Rural Health (SRH) has been delivering long term rural placements for The University of Sydney year 3 and 4 medical students in Orange and Dubbo for over 20 years. In 2022, The University of Sydney commenced delivery of its four-year graduate entry Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program in two streams: a Metropolitan stream based on the University's Camperdown campus in Sydney, and a Dubbo stream based at the School of Rural Health in Dubbo.
We have a position available for a Senior Lecturer (Education-Focused, Clinical Education) - Medicine Block Coordinator who will undertake a range of duties related to the implementation of the curriculum as well as teaching and learning activities for the Medicine Block in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program (Dubbo Stream). This position will have a supervision and leadership role in the Program in Dubbo including coordination and management of academic staff and tutors within the portfolio.

The Faculty of Medicine and Health is the largest faculty in the University and contains seven academic schools. The Sydney Medical School is one of these and includes both metropolitan and rural Clinical Schools, including the School of Rural Health (Dubbo/Orange).
