The University of New Mexico, EMS
Academy, is seeking full-time faculty to join our diverse and talented group of
Emergency Medical Services Faculty. This
position will serve as a primary faculty member with the EMS Academy for all
levels of licensure and continuing education. While educational instruction will primarily
take place at the EMS Academy in Albuquerque, the EMS Academy serves the whole
state of New Mexico, and occasionally, faculty members will support the
Academy's rural, frontier, and tribal endeavors off campus. This faculty position will be responsible for
the primary instruction and coordination of EMS courses, student evaluation,
and special components of EMS training, including but not limited to clinical
education, where students participate in experimental learning within the local
pre-hospital EMS and hospital systems in the greater Albuquerque area.

The faculty position requires an
ability to facilitate and manage multiple priorities, effectively analyze a
range of educational situations, and make sound decisions using effective time
management skills. This position
maintains a climate of open communication, collegiality, and teamwork within
the EMS program. The faculty ensures the
availability of our unique learning opportunities for students and is the first
line of support for students. These
individuals have a responsibility for teaching, curriculum development, course
scheduling, student learning outcomes assessment, professional development,
institutional service, and community relations.

In addition to the EMS Academy, our
Department of Emergency Medicine has 65+ full-time and part-time attending
physicians, and is also home to an outstanding EM Residency, EMS Fellowship,
International Mountain Medicine Center, and Center for Disaster Medicine. The University is located in the beautiful
mountain west at the intersection of unique and diverse cultures. Our region offers outstanding recreational
