Job Summary

The UBC Faculty of Medicine provides medical training to more than 3,400 undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate learners. The educational programs span multiple training sites and are distributed to clinical academic campuses and affiliated regional centers across the province. With the increasing number of learners on Vancouver Island, enhanced administrative coordination between undergraduate and postgraduate medical education is required for the delivery of the Integrated Community Clerkship Program (ICC), Year 3 Rural Family Practice Program and Year 4 Electives.

A Regional Administrative Office (RAO) has been established to facilitate all medical education activities on Vancouver Island, to enhance collaboration as well as to ensure efficient use of resources.

The primary function of this role is to provide administrative support for the planning and delivery of the undergraduate Integrated Community Clerkship (ICC) Program, Rural Family Practice (RFP) program and Year 4 Electives in Cowichan Valley and on Vancouver Island. Responsibilities include significant complex scheduling, preparing program documentation, learning materials, and corresponding with preceptors. The incumbent also provides back up support to the Family Practice Coordinator, Cowichan Valley.

The incumbent will be located in Duncan at the UBC/IMP Affiliated Regional Centre in Cowichan District Hospital. The incumbent will be working in an environment of continuous change and evolution, necessitating the development of new systems and procedures where none previously existed. The Program Administrator interacts extensively with undergraduate medical students, postgraduate residents, faculty members, ICC administrators, family practice and specialty physicians and hospital staff.

This role requires occasional travel between sites, flexibility regarding work hours, and the ability to work after regular hours is required.
