Teaching Opportunities:
- Fourth Year Teaching Elective: approximately 60 students per year 4 class teach weekly for 90 hours across the year, educating their junior colleagues in Doctoring 1, 2, or 3. Grants one-month elective credit. Not all students will be selected for this, and selection is guaranteed for students in the Education Scholarly Concentration.
- Fourth Year Basic Science Teaching Elective: students work for a month to teach in small groups, labs, and design curriculum for year 1-2 courses. Grants one-month elective credit. Requires instructor approval.
- Tutoring Program: MS2-4 students tutor junior students under the direction of Dr. O’Callaghan. Tutoring requires orientation, and tutors must meet specified academic standards.
- Teaching in CACLS and CAMLS: our simulation facilities commonly ask for senior students to assist with physical exam or communications teaching and examinations.
- Pipeline and other community programs. Shirley Smith (Office of Diversity and Inclusion) and Ellen Kent (ekent@health.usf.edu) from the Area Health Education Center (AHEC) regularly announce opportunities for teaching elementary, secondary, and college students.
- MCAT or other private exam tutoring. This is acceptable as long as you are not paid for the 20 hours needed for credit.
- Independent teaching opportunities: you may propose a special opportunity to Dr. O’Callaghan. It must be medical or relevant to community health, and separate from teaching needed to meet clerkship or required patient care requirements.
