Ideal candidates are enthusiastic about simulation and/or POCUS and are dedicated to the education mission of our institution and the SET Center. Experience in simulation-based teaching and POCUS are preferred but not required. The SET center will provide faculty development to further the facilitation, debriefing and technical skills needed to complete the teaching sessions. If you are interested in joining the SET team, please send your CV and a brief paragraph about your interest in this role. Send documents to Sofia Aliaga (saliaga@med.unc.edu), SET Center Director.
Responsibilities of the SET Facilitator will include:

- Contribute to medical student formative feedback as pertinent to the session.
- Promote positive communication and collaboration among SET team members and users of the Center.
- Assist with evaluation efforts to measure effectiveness of educational activities.
