Job Function:General Administration Position Description:HMS MEDscience’s mission is to address the inspiration gap in STEM education by providing students with opportunities to enhance the necessary 21st Century skills for success in their academic and future careers. Our vision is that all students, regardless of background, education, or zip code, should have equal opportunities in education and the sciences. Our program immerses students in realistic and dynamic simulated medical emergencies that promote teamwork and problem-solving skills. HMS MEDscience engages over 2,700 high school students (including over 900 Boston Public School students) through school-year and summer programs. 65% of the students who engage in school-year programming identify themselves as being part of a racial/ethnic group that is underrepresented in medicine.

The MEDscience Assistant Teacher role is an entry-level position for an individual who is interested in learning how to teach and eager to get involved with the many projects vital to the growth of an educational non-profit organization. In this role, the teacher will be trained to teach in our experiential learning style under the mentorship of a veteran teacher, will co-teach classes, and will have various administrative and technical responsibilities to support the maintenance and growth of the organization. This individual must be a team player who likes working in a fast-paced, dynamic, and highly interactive environment and who is looking for a challenging opportunity to learn and grow with support.

Our medical simulations require teachers to take on the roles of instructor, attending physician, patient, and/or counselor to students as they diagnose patients. The clinical skills in the MEDscience curriculum requires teachers to be able to work with a variety of medical simulation equipment and communicate proper technique to students. Additionally, the teacher must be able to create a welcoming space for students with varying educational needs.
