About Us:

The MGH Institute of Health Professions is accepting applications for a Director of Clinical Education in our new Doctoral of Audiology (AuD) program scheduled to begin in summer 2023. The AuD program will be a collaboration between the MGH Institute of Health Professions and Mass Eye and Ear Institute in Boston. The program joins an interprofessional team of highly ranked programs within the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS). These include master’s and doctoral programs in Speech-Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant Studies, Genetic Counseling, and Rehabilitation Sciences (PhD). We are seeking an innovative and dynamic individual to lead the clinical education arm of the AuD curriculum.

Located in the historic Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, the MGH Institute is an autonomous graduate school affiliated with Mass General Brigham, which includes the Massachusetts General Hospital, Mass Eye and Ear, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Spaulding Rehabilitation Network, as well as a physician’s network, community health centers, and other health care entities. These affiliations offer unparalleled opportunities for faculty and students to learn and work alongside experienced practitioners in a variety of hospital, clinical, and community settings. Additionally, MGH Institute of Health Professions is committed to anti-racism and bringing together all members of the IHP community to address systemic racial injustice as well as oppression more broadly. The Institute seeks to build an inviting and inclusive campus environment that supports the diverse students and communities the school serves.

The Director of Clinical Education will function in an independent manner with responsibility for making day-to-day administrative and clinical education decisions. This position represents a unique opportunity for a master clinician to support the Institute’s goals of preparing health professionals by mentoring student clinicians, providing audiological services to our diverse communities, facilitating clinical partnerships within the local medical community, and contributing to a culture of inclusive excellence.
