Instructional Designer

About Us

The Healthcare AI Applied Research Team (HEA3RT) at Stanford Medicine is a nationally recognized leader in advancing the responsible, people-centered, and outcomes-driven use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Through research, implementation, and education, HEA3RT builds the bridge between cutting‑edge AI technologies and clinical practice. The Stanford AI Academy is a cornerstone of this work. Our mission is to equip practicing clinicians and healthcare staff with the knowledge and skills to confidently and responsibly use AI in care delivery, education, and research.

Unlike other offerings, AI Academy goes beyond awareness training to deliver a rigorous, clinically grounded curriculum that educates practicing clinicians across six domains:

• Foundational Knowledge (basics of AI/ML)
• Critical Appraisal of AI Tools
• Medical Decision-Making with AI
• Technical Use of AI
• Patient Communication with AI
• Awareness of Unintended Consequences of AI

The Instructional Designer will join the AI Academy team as a strategic partner, helping to shape the design, delivery, and evolution of our learning platform. Working closely with HEA3RT faculty and staff, this person will:

• Transform expert‑developed content into interactive e‑learning experiences that resonate with practicing clinicians and healthcare professionals.
• Design engaging modules, courses, and assessments using modern instructional design techniques that go beyond static slides and lectures.
• Leverage Docebo (our LMS) to deliver content in user‑friendly, accessible, and scalable formats.
• Collaborate with subject matter experts to iterate on content, ensuring clarity, accessibility, and alignment with clinical practice.
• Incorporate innovative approaches such as personalized learning pathways tailored to different learner archetypes (e.g., physicians, nurses, staff, administrators).
• Explore and integrate AI‑enhanced training methods that align with AI Academy’s vision of responsible innovation.

• Partner with HEA3RT faculty and staff to design, develop, and refine interactive learning content.
• Build modules that incorporate video, case studies, simulations, branching scenarios, and other active learning techniques.
