Clinical Training Specialist - AHEC

This position serves as the primary coordinator for all medical students completing core clinical rotations. The individual in this role works directly with multiple schools of medicine, including A.T. Still University (ATSU), the University of Missouri School of Medicine (MU SOM), the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine (UMKC SOM), and Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine (KCU COM), to develop and manage complex rotation schedules that meet the unique requirements of each institution. This includes creating individualized schedules for every student assigned to the region.

The position is responsible for securing preceptor placements approximately one year in advance and coordinating all scheduling details among the medical schools, students, and preceptors. When changes occur due to student needs or preceptor availability, the coordinator must quickly identify and secure replacement placements to ensure continuity of training.

In addition, this role maintains ongoing relationships with each school of medicine through monthly meetings focused on student placement, rotation management, and program needs. The position serves as the primary coordinator for ATSU, MU, and KCU students throughout their two-year clinical education experience and also coordinates summer clinical rotations at Mosaic Life Care for ATSU and MU students. While UMKC has two coordinators supporting students on the St. Joseph campus, this position independently manages the coordination responsibilities for the other medical schools.
