will welcome its first students in the summer of 2024.

The College seeks experienced faculty members to develop and/or teach courses in the field of

(instructional audio and video content, innovative required reading, engaging discussion board

competencies; and design assessment measures commensurate with course requirements. When
teaching courses, expectations include: establishing and maintaining a motivating environment for
adult learners by offering effective feedback consistently and timely; developing a relationship with
students by engaging in weekly online discussions and critical feedback on assignments; evaluating
student progress by timely grading of course content; and if relevant, providing guidance and
encouragement during the scholarly project experience by fostering a knowledgeable and positive
perspective for quality improvement in the healthcare environment.
