We have an international reputation for excellence in research and scholarship, and we value health equity, social justice, and community engagement. We offer a full range of innovative programs, including an intensive upper-division BSN, MN-NP, MSN, MHLP, and PhD degrees.  UBC’s Vancouver campus is situated at the tip of Point Grey on the unceded lands of the Musqueam people, surrounded by forests, oceans, and mountains. Vancouver is consistently ranked as one of the most diverse cities in Canada, and one of the most livable cities in the world. UBC seeks to recruit and retain a workforce that is representative of Vancouver’s diversity, to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning.

UBC Health is in the process of establishing a Centre for Innovation in Collaborative Health Education and Team-Based Care. The goal is to create a first-of-its-kind provincial centre, providing an opportunity for students, educators, healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients to work together to improve the quality of healthcare delivery through innovations in interprofessional learning, team-based care, and research. A core component of the Centre will be a new, purpose-built interprofessional teaching clinic in the Gateway building on the UBC Vancouver Point Grey campus.  By convening and facilitating partnerships with learners, patients, and UBC health professions programs, the Gateway Team-Based Care Teaching Clinic will lead ongoing innovation and scholarship in collaborative health education and team-based primary care in BC, building learner competencies and placement capacity for collaborative practice in primary care across the province. The Gateway Clinic will aim to support approximately 4,500 patients through longitudinal team-based primary care via the BC Patient Attachment System.    

A successful applicant will be currently credentialed as a practicing Nurse Practitioner, holding a Master’s or Doctoral degree in Nursing. They must hold NP registration with the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM). They will have experience teaching nurse practitioner students in an academic setting or direct clinical supervision in primary care practice. Ideally, they will also have experience in group learning facilitation and interprofessional education, and team-based care. They will provide service to the University, the School, and to the profession by leading and/or participating in quality improvement initiatives, scholarly activities and evaluation of collaborative health education programs and team-based practices as it pertains to Nursing at the Gateway Clinic. As the Gateway Clinic is a newly developing initiative, the successful candidate will help to develop and implement the practices employed at the clinic and will evaluate and iterate upon best practices in team-based education and care.

Salary will be commensurate with the level of educational preparation and experience. The expected salary range for this Lecturer position is $130,000/year to $140,000/year, plus benefits, at 1.0 FTE (pro-rated based actual FTE).
