Curana’s provider learning model is evolving. In short, we’re focused on building learning that is clinically grounded, easy to absorb, easy to maintain, and actually utilized.

This role blends two strengths that don’t often show up in the same person:

• APP‑level clinical credibility, and
• Strong learning design capability, particularly in self‑paced learning.

The Clinical Educator – Learning Design & Facilitation designs and builds self‑paced clinical learning, facilitates targeted live learning where it adds value, and partners with teammates across Learning & Development to continuously improve how providers are onboarded, trained, and supported over time.

This is a hands‑on role for a clinician who enjoys designing learning systems, not just delivering training — someone who can translate real clinical workflows into clear, practical learning experiences and help raise the bar for how learning is done at Curana.

Learning design and content development

• Design, develop, and maintain high‑quality self‑paced clinical learning, including e‑learning modules, short instructional videos, assessments, job aids, and tip sheets.
• Translate clinical workflows, expectations, and standards into learning experiences that are clear, practical, and usable in real provider contexts.
• Apply adult learning and instructional design principles in a pragmatic way to improve retention, confidence, and on‑the‑job behavior.
• Structure learning content so it is durable and easy to update over time, balancing stable core training with flexible, updateable supporting resources.

Facilitation and live learning

• Facilitate select virtual and live learning experiences such as orientation sessions, case‑based discussions, cohort learning, and office hours.
• Use facilitation intentionally to reinforce self‑paced learning, support application and discussion, and surface areas of confusion or opportunity.
• Support high‑impact learning moments where live interaction meaningfully improves understanding or adoption.

Partnership and team enablement

• Partner closely with teammates across Learning & Development to support learning priorities and shared standards.
• Share learning design best practices, templates, and approaches that improve consistency and quality across learning assets.
• Collaborate with subject matter experts, Clinical Leadership, CDI/Coding, Compliance, Product/IT, and other stakeholders to ensure learning content is clinically accurate and operationally realistic.

Learning systems and continuous improvement

• Build and publish courses in Curana’s Learning Management System (LMS), ensuring learning is trackable and reportable.
• Use completion data, assessment results, and learner feedback to continuously refine and improve learning experiences.
• Partner with Learning Operations to support reliable tracking, reporting, and learner experience.

What Success Looks Like

• Providers reach readiness faster and feel clear on expectations.
• Priority clinical learning exists in scalable self‑paced formats, with live sessions used where they add real value.
• Live learning is interactive, focused, and reinforcing rather than duplicative.
• Learning content stays current without constant rebuilds.
• Learning & Development operates with shared design standards and stronger learning design capability over time.

• Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) with an active, unencumbered license.
• Relevant clinical experience, preferably in primary care, geriatrics, or value‑based care.
• Demonstrated experience in instructional or learning design, ideally in healthcare.
• Experience creating self‑paced learning (modules, videos, assessments, job aids).
• Experience working with a Learning Management System (LMS).
• Strong written, verbal, and facilitation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Formal training or certification in adult learning, instructional design, or learning experience design.
• Experience designing education related to clinical workflows, documentation, quality measures, or provider enablement.
• Comfort coaching peers on learning design approaches and tools.

Work Environment & Travel

• Remote role with a professional, reliable virtual work setup.
• Up to approximately 10% travel for team meetings, planning sessions, or key learning events.
