Evidence of teaching effectiveness and course development related to the above-mentioned areas will be viewed favorably. Experience with synchronous online teaching using Zoom and/or Teams will be given special preference, as will experience with asynchronous instruction using leading content management platforms.

Experience with certification of undergraduate and graduate programs will be given special consideration.

Candidates with practical experience and/or certification or licensure in an allied health or human services field is preferred. The undergraduate and graduate programs are designed to educate students about the workings of the health care industry with the goal of assuming management level positions upon graduation.
