Through this expertise, the position supports students to integrate biomedical knowledge with clinical decision-making and patient care.
The position is intended to contribute to the delivery and continuous improvement of higher education oral health programs, including curriculum development, learning and teaching design, assessment development and marking, and the alignment of subjects within articulation pathways and credit transfer frameworks.
