Description:
The Honors Program in the Honors College at Baylor University is seeking a Clinical Assistant Professor (Pre-Health Education) to start on January 21, 2025.

The Honors Program invites applicants with an MD degree currently serving in clinical medicine and able to teach population health, mentor Honors College pre-health students, and bridge Baylor's partnership with Waco Family Medicine. Successful candidates should be able to work in curricular and co-curricular contexts in order to prepare pre-health undergraduates interested in healthcare careers responsive to issues of equitable allocation and access. Successful candidates will already be employed in clinical healthcare contexts.

This is a full-time, non-tenure-track clinical faculty position. The annual teaching load will typically be two pre-health first-year seminars each fall and one population health course each spring toward the end of contributing dynamically to the growth of the Honors Program's pre-health curricular education.

This clinical position's co-curricular responsibilities include bridging the Honors College with Waco Family Medicine. Successful candidates will be employed also by Waco Family Medicine in order to bridge Honors College and Waco Family Medicine, connect Baylor students and Waco Family Medicine, develop programming between Honors Program and Waco Family Medicine and supervise Honors Program students at Waco Family Medicine.

Employment will comprise of .75 FTE at Baylor (with full-time benefits currently listed here) and .25 FTE (three half days as a provider) at Waco Family Medicine, with each institution responsible for independent evaluation and decision-making of respective employment. The position is not a joint appointment, but reflects a collaboration under a Baylor-Waco Family Medicine program agreement. Successful candidates will demonstrate understanding of both institutions and will inspire confidence in their preparedness to succeed in both contexts.
