- Actively engage in and support the activities and discussions of the Professional Practice educator’s community of practice, including but not limited to facilitator briefings (e.g. lead weekly in-person, Parkville based, MD1 briefings) or online discussions which support the knowledge and teaching practice of the facilitator group (e.g. Microsoft Teams)
- Contribute to selection, recruitment and retention of PP tutors/facilitator teams, working alongside professional and academic staff to achieve this
- Contribute to/lead the revision and update of PP program materials (including facilitator notes, tutorial plans and assessment design)
- Contribute to occasional delivery of lectures and workshops (i.e. interprofessional workshops, welcome lectures, panel discussions)
