The Office of Medical Education (OME) with the University of Colorado's School of Medicine (SOM) is searching for a Pediatrics Specialty Liaison for the Longmont/Boulder LIC site. The School of Medicine's Office of Medical Education has transitioned the core clinical curriculum into an LIC model, as part of a larger scale full curriculum overhaul. Core clinical education will occur in a longitudinal, integrated fashion primarily in an outpatient setting, with targeted hospital-based training called immersions placed during the core clinical year.

Core competencies will be taught encompassing care of adults, children, and pregnant patients taught by providers representing the disciplines of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, surgery, and emergency medicine.

A longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) was created based on three foundational characteristics of an effective, core clinical educational environment:

• Student participation in comprehensive care of patients over time
• Presence of a continuous, learning relationship with those patients' clinicians
• Meeting a majority of core clinical competencies in an ongoing, continuous fashion through those experiences.

• Inpatient Immersion Oversight:
  Oversee and coordinate inpatient immersion experiences for all LIC students enrolled in the Longmont/Boulder LIC site.
• Develop protocols and systems to facilitate longitudinal care of patients, including supporting students in the follow-up of patients admitted for inpatient treatment and specialty care.
• Faculty and Preceptor Development:
  Recruit and oversee preceptors who work longitudinally with students.
• Provide ongoing education to faculty and staff on student roles in patient care and best practices for teaching LIC students.
• Provide continuous faculty development related to longitudinal precepting, mentoring, and assessment skills.
• Curriculum and Teaching:
  Collaborate with Clinical Core Directors (CCDs) to ensure LIC students achieve competency and comparability across all required domains.
• Develop specialty-specific didactic content in collaboration with CCDs and Basic Science Content Directors.
• Facilitate and/or teach specialty-specific didactic sessions or recruit faculty to deliver them.
• Student Assessment and Support:
  Assist in regular student assessments, including direct observation and identification of students needing additional support.
• Collaborate with the CCD on the development and implementation of remediation plans.
• Gather assessments and feedback from all supervisors, create summary reports of student progress, and participate in grading meetings.
• Program Administration:
  Assist in the overall administration and management of LIC programs at the LIC site, as needed.

Hybrid – this role is eligible for a hybrid schedule as needed for teaching and in-person meetings.
