Medical Education Consultant jobs

About the Role:

• Role: Subject Matter Expert (SME) – Healthcare Management
• Course Level: Master's-Level Online Course — scoped and scaled to 3-Credit MBA rigor
• Engagement Type: 1099 Contract / Freelance
• Delivery Mode: Remote
• Working Model: Content-first — the SME authors and validates curriculum content before instructional design, storyboarding format decisions, and video production proceed.

Role Summary:

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Healthcare Management to co-author a fast-track, seven-week master's-level online course, scoped and scaled to the complexity, depth, and academic rigor expected of a 3-credit MBA course — including industry-specific examples, current data, and applied case context.

This is an active, hands-on authorship role, not a review role. The SME will serve as the academic face of the curriculum, and, critically, as a co-author who works directly inside the storyboard and video scripts to close content gaps, rather than leaving comments for the instructional design (ID) team to resolve. The SME's judgment, subject-matter substance, and voice must be built directly into the script.

The SME will also bridge academic concepts with real-world healthcare management practice, and should be comfortable appearing on camera to deliver engaging instructional content and guide learners through applied healthcare scenarios.

The role requires strong academic expertise, practical industry experience, instructional capability, direct authorship/editing skill, and professional on-camera presentation skills.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Academic Leadership & Content-First Curriculum Validation

• Serve as the central academic guide and practitioner for the course
• Develop and validate the curriculum's academic content and structure before instructional design and video production begin, so that design and production build on accurate, complete, MBA-level content rather than the reverse
• Translate complex healthcare and medical management concepts into practical, learner-friendly applications scaled to 3-credit MBA depth
• Deliver engaging, authoritative, and learner-focused instructional guidance
• Bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world healthcare problem-solving
• Support competency-driven and problem-based learning approaches

2. Storyboard & Script Co-Authorship

Develop original graduate-level course content aligned with the accreditor-approved course outline provided by International Business University (IBU), and co-author the storyboard and video scripts directly alongside the ID team. Responsibilities include:

• Reading the storyboard and video scripts closely, and making direct edits, in tracked changes or strikethrough mode, wherever conceptual accuracy, subject-matter depth, examples, data, citations, screenshots, or sources need revision
• Revising or overwriting sections directly where they fall short of the depth, nuance, and applied judgment expected of an MBA-level, 3-credit course, rather than leaving a comment for the writer
• Adding the subject-matter substance, industry-specific examples, and framing that only an SME can bring, so each script reflects genuine expert authorship
• Verifying or correcting data, citations, and sources directly within the script, rather than flagging them for the ID team to confirm
• Providing screenshots of each step, using the applicable/approved datasets, for all screencast and demonstration video scripts
• Rephrasing video scripts as needed so the language and flow match each video's specific learning objective
• Creating instructional scripts for video lectures
• Designing learning activities and formative assessments
• Developing graduate-level quizzes and summative assessments
• Ensuring alignment between learning objectives, instructional content, activities, and assessments
• Creating “Real-Life Problem Solving” case studies and simulations based on authentic healthcare industry scenarios

Designing case-based learning experiences involving:

• Clinical decision-making
• Ethical dilemmas in healthcare systems
• Operational management challenges
• Crisis management simulations

3. Dynamic Curriculum Delivery & Presentation

Video format follows content, not the other way around: once the SME has developed and validated the curriculum, the ID team will determine the best-fit format for each topic. Lecture videos do not require a continuous talking head throughout — the expert may introduce or explain a topic on camera and then cut to demonstrations, simulations, visuals, or slides wherever these add meaningful value and improve engagement.

• Record high-quality video lectures and masterclasses in a dynamic format — on-camera introduction/explanation supported by demonstrations, simulations, or slides as appropriate to the topic
• Deliver instructor-led video explanations and demonstrations
• Appear on camera for “talking head” segments where this best serves the learning objective
• Participate in approximately 35 videos with an aggregated duration of up to 210 minutes
• Maintain an engaging, professional, and relatable on-camera presence throughout technical content delivery
• Work comfortably with teleprompters, studio lighting, and multi-take recording environments

4. Pedagogical Application

• Implement applied and competency-driven learning methodologies
• Ensure learning is anchored in real-world healthcare scenarios
• Facilitate structured case-based learning experiences
• Guide learners through practical decision-making exercises and simulations
• Support applied clinical, ethical, and operational reasoning

5. Review & Validation

• Review, validate, and formally approve developed academic content prior to Canvas LMS integration
• Participate in up to two review cycles per deliverable
• Ensure all deliverables — including the SME's own direct edits — align with IBU instructional philosophy and quality standards

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Strong academic and professional expertise in Healthcare Management, at a depth suitable for MBA/graduate-level instruction
• Proven practitioner experience in healthcare systems, operations, or medical management
• Demonstrated ability to author (not only review) instructional content: comfortable making direct, substantive edits to scripts and storyboards
• Working knowledge of tracked changes / redlining in Word or Google Docs, for direct co-authorship of shared materials
• Ability to independently verify, correct, and cite data and sources
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking capabilities
• Ability to translate technical healthcare concepts into engaging instructional content
• Experience in curriculum development, online learning, or instructional delivery preferred
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while meeting project timelines

Preferred Experience:

• Prior experience in public speaking, webinars, or instructional video production
• Experience working with teleprompters, studio setups, or multi-take video recording environments
• Experience designing and directly co-authoring graduate-level or higher-education learning content
• Experience validating or correcting data, citations, and sources within instructional materials
• Experience producing screenshots or step-by-step walkthroughs from real datasets for screencasts
• Familiarity with Canvas LMS or online course delivery platforms
• Experience creating case-based and competency-driven learning experiences

Screen Presence Requirements:

The SME should demonstrate:

• Confidence and clarity in communication
• Strong learner engagement and instructional presence
• Professional, authoritative, and approachable delivery style
• Ability to sustain engagement during technical and analytical discussions, and to transition naturally between on-camera segments and supporting demonstrations, simulations, or slides

Deliverables:

• Directly co-authored (tracked-changes) revisions to the storyboard and video scripts, reflecting MBA-level depth and industry-specific examples
• Validated, corrected data, citations, and sources embedded directly in the content
• Graduate-level instructional scripts and course materials
• Video lecture recordings and masterclass content, in dynamic (not exclusively talking-head) formats
• Assessments, learning activities, and case studies
• Real-world healthcare problem-solving simulations
• Screenshots and step-by-step sequences, using approved datasets, for screencast segments
• Reviewed and validated course deliverables aligned with project quality standards

Application Details:

Interested candidates are requested to share:

• Updated Resume/CV
• Relevant Healthcare Management experience
• Experience in curriculum development or academic content creation, including examples of direct authorship or co-authorship (not only review) of instructional materials
• Links/sample recordings of webinars, lectures, or video presentations (if available)
• Availability to start
