Join Flinders University’s South Australia Rural Medical (SARM) Program and play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of rural medical practitioners. Based at the Mount Gambier campus, the Senior Lecturer in Clinical Skills will provide academic leadership across clinical skills and communication teaching, delivering innovative, student-centred learning experiences that support excellence in medical education. Drawing on significant clinical expertise, the successful candidate will contribute to curriculum development, clinical skills training, simulation-based education, and the strengthening of industry and health service partnerships that enhance student learning and support the growth of the rural medical workforce.
This position makes a significant contribution to the University’s strategic plan to change 10 million lives, Every One Matters, by 2035 through directly contributing to the strategic driver of Student Centricity. By delivering innovative, high-quality clinical skills education, supporting student success, and fostering the development of career-ready rural medical graduates, the role helps strengthen the future healthcare workforce and improve health outcomes across regional South Australia.
This role is well suited to a local clinician who is looking to supplement their current part-time clinical role and share their knowledge in a meaningful teaching, academic context.
You are an experienced clinician who is passionate about developing the next generation of healthcare professionals. Bringing current clinical expertise and a strong commitment to medical education, you can translate real-world practice into engaging learning experiences that develop clinical competence, professionalism and communication skills. You enjoy mentoring students, sharing your knowledge and supporting their success, while embracing innovation and collaboration in teaching. Motivated by the opportunity to make a lasting impact beyond your own clinical practice, you are committed to helping build a skilled and sustainable rural healthcare workforce.

Flinders University was founded on the belief that learning should open minds, celebrate individuality and give people the freedom to pursue their own point of view. That spirit lives on in our community of thinkers, doers and changemakers who challenge convention, and each other, to shape what comes next.
Rising to a challenge is nothing new for Flinders. During our first 60 years, we’ve navigated revolutionary changes in social and cultural norms, and have responded to transformative economic, environmental and technological developments. Through it all, we’ve continued to deliver for our students and community, innovating in learning and research to prepare graduates for the changing world they help create.
Reaching beyond the limits of buildings, borders, and backgrounds, ours is an inclusive culture that believes absolutely in equality and opportunity for all. We don't just accommodate differences; we embrace and celebrate them.
