1 month ago
Columbia University’s Pre-College Programs for High School Students is seeking qualified candidates to develop and teach on-campus (i.e., in person) during Summer ’24.
Please Note: Course(s) and course availability is subject to change. Dates are tentative and subject to change.
Session:
- Summer C: August 5th - August 9th
Class Times:
- 11:10am - 1:00pm & 3:10pm - 5:00pm EST (four hours per day)
Course description:
Becoming a physician—mastering the intricacies of the human body and working to heal when illness occurs—has long been considered a noble pursuit, but it’s not all guts and glory. It takes a particular kind of mind; one that can focus on the smallest details while keeping the big picture in sight. A doctor must see the forest and the trees.
This course is an investigation into how different types of physicians think within their discipline and what it means to be a doctor in today’s society.. The course includes asynchronous work, which students are expected to complete between class sessions.
Potential topics to be discussed include the following:
- Logic and reasoning
- Evidence-based medicine
- Human psychology and its influence
- The crossroads of media, myth, and medicine
- Ethics
- Malpractice
- Medicine's history and future
- Medical School and Residency
Participants gain a deeper knowledge of the medical world as well as what it takes to think like a doctor—and acquire mental tools that can be utilized in any aspect of life. Please note that the field of medicine is far reaching and each class will vary depending on the instructor and their scope of knowledge and work within this vast field.
Responsibilities:
- Develop course content, syllabus, lesson plans, and assigned work
- Lead and attend all in-person class sessions
- Establish and maintain a dynamic in-class environment tailored for our high school population
- Evaluate student work and write a holistic evaluation of each participant after the course ends
- Monitor and address student concerns and inquiries (you will have around 20-24 students)
- Attend and complete all required online trainings
Qualifications
- Graduate degree or equivalent professional or academic background
- Expertise in the pertinent subject matter
- Aptitude for teaching
