Essential Functions The Medical Director role is intended to provide ongoing medical oversight rather than function as a regularly scheduled clinical or instructional position. The annual stipend would cover routine medical oversight and program participation, including meetings, consultation with faculty and administration, review of program materials and policies, medical oversight, program planning, quality improvement, and routine accreditation support. Additional time associated with student evaluation activities would be compensated separately at the proposed hourly rate.

Additional accreditation-related activities outside the routine scope of the role may be addressed through the annual agreement or separately, as determined by the College.
