Prescribing Course Faculty Position with PBI Education (Remote-Based)
Prescribing Course Faculty Position with PBI Education (Remote-Based)
Position Description:
PBI Education is expanding and seeking a faculty member to teach our two-day, remedial Proper Prescribing Course.
This is a remote-based independent contractor position. Courses are scheduled months in advance and are facilitated virtually on a Saturday-Sunday schedule via interactive videoconferencing technology. The course confers 21 CE hours and involves facilitating a group of up to 15 clinicians over two nine-hour days and reviewing their pre-course assignments beforehand. Faculty should have the availability to teach a minimum of four courses annually to be considered for this role. It is an ideal position for someone with a pain management and/or healthcare professional regulation background, seeking an opportunity to contribute to the field of professionalism in health care while maintaining a remote-based, flexible, part-time schedule from anywhere in North America.
About the Course:
This course is designed for clinicians who need help maintaining proper prescribing practices and upholding expected prescribing standards. Importantly, this course goes beyond sound prescribing and examines the personal and professional reasons why clinicians fail to prescribe properly. The curriculum covers common misconceptions about opioids, assessment of patients for prescription misuse potential, setting prescribing-related boundaries, team-based symptom management approaches, and compliance with documentation, laws, and rules.

All PBI Education courses are process-oriented. That means that the bulk of the work that participants must do, guided by their faculty member, relates to the “how, why, and when” of their infractions, and not simply the “what.” Therefore, the faculty member must have certain sensitivities as well as the skills necessary to facilitate a small group of intelligent and successful adult learners who are grappling with serious professional problems that are rooted in interpersonal dynamics. Although this work can be challenging, the opportunity to witness course participants undergo tremendous change and recommit to professional ideals is exceedingly rewarding and heartening.
