Teaching Opportunity: PATH 535/635

PATH 535/635 is a core course in the PALM Graduate Program. Students learn skills in all aspects of scientific communication (oral presentation, poster preparation, abstract, research summary, lay scientific communication, etc.).

https://grad.pathology.ubc.ca/course-of-study/courses/core-pathology-courses/

We are seeking faculty (academic or clinical) interested in co-coordinating this course starting in September 2022. No discipline-specific expertise is required. Typically involves 1 or 2h of classic lecturing, ~25h of attending graduate student presentations and providing feedback, as well as assignment marking (posters, abstracts, research proposal, lay summary). This is a great opportunity to build your teaching dossier.

The course runs from September to April (~30h/year, typically 2h every two weeks, on Friday 3-5pm).

Anyone interested, please contact Steve Kalloger at skalloger@me.com or Helene Cote at helene.cote@ubc.ca as soon as possible.
