Clinical Instructor

Primary Purpose and Essential Functions

The School of Health Sciences at the University of the Pacific invites applications for a part-time, non-tenure track position as a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Speech Language Pathology. 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. Part-time faculty are appointed as needed by each unit and considered as less than full-time annual appointments 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. Appointments for full-time non-tenure-track faculty members may be issued as single-year or multi-year terms and may be renewable.

Responsibilities include :

• Provide supervision for a total of one to five (1-5) hours per day (depending on your contract), typically supervising two student clinicians per hour. Occasionally a clinical instructor may be assigned three student clinicians per hour.
• Provide each student clinician with a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) direct supervision. However, our expectation is for greater direct supervision as needed to meet the needs of the particular student clinician and / or client.
• Complete semester supervision log to document supervision time for ASHA accreditation requirements. Must submit written log to the clinic director and / or office manager on the last day of the semester.
• Provide written feedback towards clinical reports and observational assignments.

Essential Functions :
