Help build B.C.’s new medical school from the ground up!

At Simon Fraser University's School of Medicine, we envision a medical education system where students and residents learn as part of a team in primary care and other community-level settings, in patient-centred environments, and with a curriculum that considers social, environmental and prevention contexts. As we establish the school in Surrey, B.C., our growing relationships with the local community, Fraser Health Authority, First Nations Health Authority, physicians and Indigenous partners will help us to meet the diverse health needs of the communities we serve and improve access to primary care throughout the province.

We seek to advance reconciliation by embedding and equalizing Indigenous knowledge systems in our learning, research and practices while resting on a solid foundation of high‑quality, accredited education and world‑class research efforts that keep us oriented towards measurable socially accountable outcomes.

In collaboration with the Faculty Lead, the Director translates the EQI strategic vision into operational evaluation frameworks, data governance systems, and evidence‑based reporting that support program quality, accreditation readiness, and informed decision‑making by educational leadership.

The Director is accountable for the design of the evaluation framework, data infrastructure, accreditation compliance, quality improvement cycles, and team leadership, ensuring that evaluation activities are executed with fidelity, rigour, and timeliness across the School's medical education programs.
