Job Description

Overview

This is a grant-funded position. The County Simulation Engagement Coordinator supports implementation of Touro University Nevada’s Rural Health Transformation (RHT) grant in an assigned rural Nevada county or service area. Working independently in the community, the Coordinator serves as a liaison between local healthcare and first-responder partners and TUN personnel in Continuing Education, Nursing, and the Simulation Center.
