Primary Purpose and Essential Functions | The School of Health Sciences at the University of the Pacific invites applicants for adjunct or part-time, clinical instructors in the Entry Level Master of Science in Nursing Program (ELMSN). Clinical Instructors will oversee a cohort of students in an approved clinical agency to meet the curricular areas mandated by the Board of Registered Nursing. These content areas include Pediatrics, Med-Surg/Gero, Obstetrics/Women's Health, Mental Health, and Public Health Nursing. Clinical sites include the Sacramento and Stockton areas. Clinical days vary in length. The accelerated trimester program curriculum is delivered over two (2) years. Additionally, faculty may assist in the skills/simulation lab. The ELMSN Program is designed for students who have a bachelor's degree, complete the required prerequisites, to enter the ELMSN program. Graduates are eligible for RN licensure, a Public Health Nurse Certificate, and an MSN degree. Teaching is the primary focus at the University. We aspire to promote student learning within a humanistic environment that facilitates student success to be competent self-directed learners. The role of clinical instructional faculty within the ELMSN Program at University of the Pacific is to provide instruction as assigned in areas of knowledge and expertise. The successful faculty candidate will be part of a highly motivated, cohesive faculty of experienced educators working as an interdisciplinary team to deliver a forward-thinking ELMSN curriculum designed to meet the new AACN Master's Essentials (2021). Graduates will serve as practice leaders and change agents to improve healthcare systems and patient outcomes. The successful candidate will work in collaboration with other ELMSN faculty members within the program to provide expertise and contribute to a collaborative working environment. This position will report directly to the Faculty of Record and the ELMSN Assistant Director. Job Description and Responsibilities:
Primary Purpose: Non-tenure-track faculty members collaborate in fulfilling the University's mission to provide a superior, student-centered learning experience integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities. Clinical appointments are made upon the recommendation of the department faculty where appropriate to an academic program. The clinical appointment is non-tenurable. A prefix such as "clinical", or suffix such as "of Practice", or other appropriate prefix or suffix, will be designated for these appointments, full-time or part-time. (FHB 7.1.4). A Clinical appointment utilizes specialized skills and experience in a certain professional field and is mainly responsible for teaching related duties and at times Service and Research aspects if expected by the School. Part-time faculty are appointed as needed by each unit and considered as less than full time annual appointment as specified by each unit. Part time is determined by the unit based on a comparison to year-long appointments. Time of service on a part-time appointment may not accrue to time for appointment with tenure. (FHB 7.1.6) Essential Functions:
Each school and college in the University may have a faculty of its own consisting of all members of the University faculty within the particular school or college and subject to the approval of the Provost, adopt by-laws and rules concerning its own organization, governance, and procedures. Each such faculty shall function under the Dean and Provost and be subject to the policies of the University faculty. University of the Pacific recognizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion is foundational to the success of our valued students and employees. We prioritize policy and decision-making that demonstrates awareness of, and responsiveness to, the ways socio-cultural forces related to race, gender, ability, sexuality, socio-economic status, etc. impede or propel students, faculty and staff. |
