Assistant Director of Programming

Overview

As you take your first step onto a Western University of Health Sciences campus, each path, each person, each structure comes with a transformative story. Western

U is more than the practice of medicine. We are defined by character and culture. At Western

U, you will discover humanism at the heart of every interaction: a warm welcome, a sincere smile, a positive word, a kind deed, a thoughtful gesture. You will see students work together on case studies; a parade of pets in campus parks; student clubs offering opportunities for career growth and community involvement; and faculty, staff and students designing their future and the future of Western

U. We display a collaborative mindset in how we operate, educate, and serve others. Although geographically, we are two campuses, as humanists we are one: to enhance and extend the quality of life in our communities and achieve excellence in everything we do. We attract diverse, professional faculty, staff and students that thrive in an environment of humanistic health care education.

Join our team of faculty and staff and make a difference.
