California University of Science and Medicine (CUSM) is seeking an organized, proactive, and relationship-focused Faculty Program and Continuing Medical Education Specialist (Specialist) to support continuing medical education (CME), faculty development, and faculty engagement initiatives that strengthen faculty excellence across the university. Reporting to the Director of Faculty Development, this role coordinates CME activities from planning through accreditation approval and program evaluation, while supporting faculty development initiatives, university events, and partnerships with affiliated clinical training sites. This role also analyzes program outcomes to support continuous quality improvement and collaborates with faculty and institutional partners to ensure programs are delivered efficiently and in compliance with accreditation standards.

This individual demonstrates sound judgment, professionalism, and diplomacy when navigating complex situations, communicates effectively with diverse stakeholders, and is equally comfortable working independently or as part of a collaborative team. Experience with continuing medical education is welcomed but not required.
