Springboard is looking to hire a Live Course Instructor to supplement the self-directed components of the program.

Responsibilities:

• Facilitate two live sessions weekly every week for 15 weeks (13 weeks of didactic content, plus 2 weeks of exam review). Sessions will be 1 hour each.
• Prepare independently for live sessions (up to 4 additional hours per week).
• Develop and modify lecture decks as needed.
• On Weeks 1-13, your live sessions will review key concepts covered in the curriculum, and create space for student Q A. You may also be asked to support with course announcements and other course housekeeping at the beginning/end of sessions.
• Gamify learning by introducing tools like Kahoot into live sessions.
• On the 2 exam study weeks, additional office hours may be requested.
• Respond to student messages through our Course Advisors (by email) that require medical assisting expertise, within a given SLA.
• Monitor Canvas discussion boards for weekly student responses and questions.

• Clinical Communication best practices
• Appropriate depth of content for entry-level MA training
• MA scope of practice
• How to recreate skill-based training outside of a lab or clinical environment, while students learn at home.

You may be called upon to:

• Work with Springboard's Learning Experience team and Instructional Designers to adjust session content as needed.

Qualifications:

• Experience working as a CCMA or CMA in a clinical setting.
