Career Opportunities

Faculty as teachers and leaders are central to the successful education of medical students at McMaster University. Many clinicians recognize the teaching they do as an energizing responsibility that contributes to the overall satisfaction of their daily work. Over time, clinicians commonly assume positions of educational leadership. Clinicians become involved in leadership roles through education initiatives, innovation, and overseeing teams of teachers, scholars, and educators.

There are many rewarding leadership roles in the MD Program. Examples include Pre-Clerkship Planners and Course Directors, Clerkship Directors, and Regional Education Leads. There are important leadership roles in Diversity, Indigenous Health, Student Affairs, and Student Assessment. Faculty interested to learn more about leadership opportunities can contact Karen McAssey, Chair of Leadership Development (mcassek@mcmaster.ca).
