**Description**

JOB SUMMARY**: The clinical outreach model relies heavily on a robust system of community-based clinical rotations, in which students will perform under the guidance of faculty preceptors. As such, the Director of Clinical Education Outreach will have a commitment to customer service, innovation, and primary / specialty care based upon interdisciplinary and inter-professional education and will sustain the number and quality of affiliation agreements.

In addition, monitoring site evaluations to determine compliance with accreditation standards and trends related to the effectiveness of students learning while maintaining the overall environment and ensuring appropriate outcomes.

Other tasks include coordinating strategic planning processes as they relate to clinical education outreach, including resource impact and implementation strategies. To achieve this end, the Director spends time in an office setting completing various administrative tasks, reports and making phone calls; however, the majority of time is spent in the field going to doctors' offices and healthcare facilities.
