Center for Patient Partnerships' Director of Education

At this exciting time of great change in our healthcare system, the Center for Patient Partnerships (CPP) remains dedicated to keeping patients front and center. For the past fifteen years, we have been an international leader in patient advocacy education.  We are also at the forefront of developing curriculum about patients' experiences with health and health care; providing no-cost advocacy services to patient and caregivers in need; and engaging in a range of research and applied projects designed to maximize the influence of patients on policy change.

CPP is now seeking a Director of Education.  This Director will lead our educational program-building, curriculum development, and course offerings. She or he will also oversee existing and emerging online courses, educational programs and advocacy services; lead the continued transformation of our face-to-face curriculum into a distance format; and ensure maximum impact for our model through dissemination and publication.  Direct teaching and mentoring of a diverse group of graduate and professional students is another crucial aspect of the position.  Experience and skills we are seeking in potential applicants include teaching, curriculum development, strategic planning, supervision, grant-writing, and project management.  Ideally candidates will also have a history of leadership; a background in interdisciplinary and/or inter-professional education; and a spirit of adventure.

CPP is an interdisciplinary center of the Schools of Law, Medicine and Public Health, Nursing, and Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a four-pronged mission that includes education, advocacy, research, and policy.  Our curriculum offerings include an on-site clinic-based advocacy intensive, and a 12-credit Certificate program, available face-to-face, online, and in a blended format.
