The Curriculum Program Analyst will play a key role in providing strategic analysis and consultation that contribute to planning and decision making to ensure appropriate governance and oversight of the curriculum in Academic Affairs at the University of Washington School of Medicine. This position is dedicated to optimizing continuous quality improvement strategies for curricular accreditation through reporting of quantitative and qualitative data.
The Curriculum Program Analyst reports directly to the Director of Curriculum and works with the Associate Dean of Curriculum. This role will also routinely interact with the School of Medicine Curriculum Committee Chairs, School of Medicine deans, faculty and staff within the five state WWAMI region. The Curriculum Program Analyst facilitates critical communication between the curriculum office and the Office of Academic Affairs, the six first-year teaching sites located in Seattle, Eastern Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho and the School’s basic science and clinical faculty and staff throughout the WWAMI region.

This position will perform analysis of operational performance metrics and develop reports and visual tools for the governance committees to inform strategic planning and curricular innovation.
