POST-MSMS FELLOWHIP/MODERATOR PROGRAM

The SCU Master of Science in Medical Science (MSMS) program offers a Post-MSMS Fellowship/Moderator program allowing two

SCU MSMS

students to apply for the 11-month fellowship, including moderator activities. The MSMS Fellowship is a part-time position allowing Fellows to receive further education, research experience, and professional academia experience as MSMS Moderators.

About the position:

With a growing population, one of the greatest challenges is ensuring that healthcare we receive is at the best possible quality for across all dimensions of society - across all genders, ages, races, and ethnicities and socioeconomic levels. The MSMS Fellowship/Moderator program is based on an interdisciplinary, integrative healthcare model looking at whole-person care, including healthcare practice from the communities where we live, impact of disease based on the lifestyles we practice such as the food we eat, the transportation we depend on to access healthcare facilities, and the community health services we receive. Success in the interdisciplinary healthcare team will require the translation of high quality and high impact science and practical clinical experience into sound health policy. The goal of the MSMS Fellows/Moderator Program is to provide MSMS students with increased opportunities, experience, and skills necessary to help lead this effort, and in so doing, shape a healthy and productive future for all. The MSMS Fellowship has an emphasis on teaching courses and conducting research and provides funding for both coursework and extracurricular projects. Moderator responsibilities include ensuring efficiency in the learning experience for current MSMS students. The MSMS program is fully online. Moderators will attend online classes with MSMS and relay any feedback they may have to the faculty and staff so that necessary changes or adjustments can be made to improve the online learning environment. Moderators ensure that MSMS students have a successful experience as they progress throughout the program, tailoring the experience to meet the needs of students, provide effective communication, and enhance the learning environment for both students and faculty. Fellows also provide tutoring to MSMS students in all content covered throughout the duration of the program and help guide students in creating timelines for applying to health professions programs.

Timeline:

The MSMS Fellowship/Moderator program follows an 11-month MSMS hybrid term schedule. The Fellowship begins in the Fall Term and concludes at the end of the Summer Term.

Location:

The Post-MSMS Fellowship/Moderator positions are remote. Fellows may report to the SCU campus, as needed. There may be travel to events and conferences, as needed.

Selection process:

The

SCU MSMS

Fellows are selected based on their potential to make a positive, long-lasting contribution to their academic discipline. Fellows/Moderators are selected each year through a competitive application process based on their commitment to health education and issues, leadership potential, and interest. Fellows/Moderators should have experience in education, including teaching experience working with diverse student populations. The fellowship requires excellent written and oral communication skills, excellent presentation skills, and the ability to communicate at all levels with tact and diplomacy to achieve goals. The fellowship has a broad interdisciplinary focus; therefore follows/moderators will have the ability to work across all areas of a complex organization and must demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively with faculty, staff and students on health science education and research. Only

SCU MSMS

students who will be completing their MSMS program are eligible to apply. Interested MSMS students should apply for the fellowship during the last term of their MSMS program, or soon after graduation. The program seeks to achieve racial, ethnic, gender, and discipline diversity. Candidates from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or its territories who have career plans that anticipate continued work in the U.S. after the fellowship period.
