Adjunct

Job Summary

Drexel University is among the top 50 private, nonprofit, national research universities in the United States, offering in-person, hybrid, and online education.

The Department of Health Administration within the LeBow School of Business offers both graduate and undergraduate degrees in health services administration. Students may select full-time (undergraduate only) or part-time study. Courses are delivered in-person, online, or in hybrid format. The core curriculum is designed to expose students to the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the healthcare industry through didactic and experiential learning in leadership, general management, economic principles, and health policy. At the same time, the program exposes students to interdisciplinary study in areas such as bioethics, epidemiology, and the history of healthcare.

Currently, the Department of Health Administration is accepting applications for adjunct instructors with expertise in:

• Health information systems (HIS) and HIS Data Privacy, with priority on those with a background in HIS.
• Quality Management, with priority on those with a significant background in administrative and leadership roles in health care delivery settings.
