Employment at FCIM

 

It is the policy of the Florida College of Integrative Medicine (FCIM) to recruit faculty with training appropriate to their area of instruction.

Currently, more than 15 full-time and part time faculty members are employed to teach the Oriental medicine courses. All hold the BTCM (some also hold the Ph.D.) from recognized universities in China and are licensed acupuncture physicians in Florida. The BTCM is specific training in traditional Chinese medicine consisting of four years of academic studies and at least one year of field training in a hospital. It is the recognized practitioner degree for the practice of this medicine in China.

The BTCM degree is evaluated by transcript evaluation services based in the U.S. as a doctor of medicine degree for which there is no U.S. equivalent.

In the U.S., the Master’s Degree in Oriental medicine is the terminal degree and FCIM currently employs adjunct instructors who hold this degree.

It is the policy of FCIM to encourage long-term relationships with faculty and to increase the number of full-time appointments as enrollment permits. Academic freedom is honored and professional development and research are supported.

New faculty members are hired for an evaluation period of 90 days, a period used to help train instructors and evaluate their performance—especially their ability to establish rapport with students and to create a positive learning environment. FCIM rarely uses direct advertising to recruit new faculty; instead it relies on staff recommendations and referrals.

There is a great demand for qualified Chinese medicine educators, especially those with distinguished records, experience in teaching (post doctoral) and proficiency in both Chinese and English. We invite and give priority of acceptance to those distinctive medical educators with teaching experience to join our team.
