Duties may also require occasional travel to BC Children's Hospital and the Diamond Health Care Centre. The incumbent should be able to work a flexible schedule, including some evenings and weekends to support the FoM VSP. This position is eligible for hybrid work structure within operational needs.

ORGANIZATIONAL STATUS

The FoM VSP is a four-week, two-course academic program that provides undergraduate students from international universities the opportunity to experience Canadian health and life sciences education at its best, while learning about Canadian practices and culture through engaging classes and social activities. First delivered in 2013, the VSP is part of a UBC-wide summer program. The program as a whole increased exponentially from 2013 to 2019, but was paused in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and started running again in 2022. The program consists of two four-week sessions: June - July and July - August.
