Position Summary

The Department of Pediatrics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center is looking for a part-time VHO (Community Liaison) for one year. As a Community Liaison within our education department, the role will be to support a project designed to create an innovative assessment tool for training in health equity. This project will be centered on the longitudinal mapping of our curriculum to entrustable professional activities (EPAs) to milestone competencies. Specifically, we will evaluate how effectively we train residents to use population health strategies and quality improvement methods to promote health and address racism, discrimination, and other contributors to inequities among pediatric populations. As an important stakeholder, the Community Liaison will report to the Department of Pediatric Residency Program Director and work closely with the pediatrics department education faculty.
