Who We Are

Simon Fraser University (SFU) is a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Our purpose - the essence of SFU - is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.


Help build B.C.'s new medical school from the ground up!


At the SFU School of Medicine (School), we envision a medical education system where students and residents learn as part of a team in primary care and other community-level settings, in patient-centred environments, and with a curriculum that considers social, environmental and prevention contexts. As we establish the school in Surrey, B.C., our growing relationships with the local community, Fraser Health Authority, First Nations Health Authority, physicians and Indigenous partners will help us to meet the diverse health needs of the communities we serve and improve access to primary care throughout the province. We seek to advance reconciliation by embedding and equalizing Indigenous knowledge systems in our learning, research and practices while resting on a solid foundation of high-quality, accredited education and world-class research efforts that keep us oriented towards measurable socially accountable outcomes.

About the Role

We are seeking a Curriculum Coordinator (UGME & PGME), Indigenous Health, to facilitate the integration of Indigenous knowledges, pedagogies and perspectives across the Undergraduate and Postgraduate Medical Education (UGME and PGME) programs. The role collaborates with curriculum teams, faculty and Indigenous communities to recommend learning experiences that reflect Indigenous health practices, worldviews and regional diversity. The role supports curriculum design, implementation and review through a Two-Eyed Seeing approach, while also a fostering respectful relationship that ensure Indigenous content is meaningfully embedded and authentically represented throughout the School of Medicine's educational programs.


The ideal candidate is someone with strong curriculum design and writing skills, especially for case-based learning, assessment tools and instructional materials. They possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to engage respectfully across cultural contexts. This individual is skilled in facilitating collaboration among faculty, staff and Indigenous partners, combined with strong organizational and time management skills. They have the ability to exercise cultural sensitivity and sound judgment when representing Indigenous content. Additionally, they have the ability to build and maintain reciprocal, trust-based relationships with Indigenous communities.
