Program Coordinator

As you take your first step onto a Western University of Health Sciences campus, each path, each person, each structure comes with a transformative story. WesternU is more than the practice of medicine. We are defined by character and culture.

At WesternU, you will discover humanism at the heart of every interaction: a warm welcome, a sincere smile, a positive word, a kind deed, a thoughtful gesture. You will see students work together on case studies; a parade of pets in campus parks; student clubs offering opportunities for career growth and community involvement; and faculty, staff and students designing their future and the future of Western

U. We display a collaborative mindset in how we operate, educate, and serve others.

Although, geographically, we are two campuses - as humanists, we are one: to enhance and extend the quality of life in our communities and achieve excellence in everything we do. We attract diverse, professional faculty, staff and students that thrive in an environment of humanistic health care education. Join our team of faculty and staff and make a difference.

Job Summary

Under the guidance and direction of the Director of IPE , the Program Coordinator supports the coordination and implementation of Interprofessional Education ( IPE ) learning experiences, activities, and related programming. This role collaborates closely with the Lebanon campus Course Co-Director and other members of the IPE support team to assist in the development, scheduling, implementation, and monitoring of IPE learning experiences and activities.

The Program Coordinator helps ensure smooth delivery of IPE sessions by managing logistics, maintaining communication with stakeholders, and supporting day-to-day program operations across campus locations. While based in Oregon, this role has significant in-person responsibilities and requires regular on-site presence at any/all WesternU campus buildings in Lebanon, OR. During the IPE academic semesters, the position will be approximately 60% in-person and 40% remote, with the in-person work focused on directly supporting students, faculty, and staff with related IPE activities.

Outside of the academic semesters, the role is expected to shift to a 50/50 split between in-person and remote work, though in-person engagement will remain an essential component throughout the year.
