Who We Are
Simon Fraser University 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 Simon Fraser University’s School of Medicine, 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
The Assessment Administrator plays a pivotal role in supporting the delivery of the School of Medicine’s Program of Assessment for the MD program. Working within the Assessment & Learner Progress unit, this position coordinates and oversees a broad range of assessment activities, including written examinations, progress testing, workplace-based assessments, portfolio coaching, and structured clinical assessments. The role contributes directly to learner success by ensuring assessments are delivered with integrity, consistency, accessibility, and cultural safety. As the School of Medicine continues to build its assessment infrastructure, the Assessment Administrator will be involved in developing operational processes, implementing assessment technologies, supporting accommodation practices, strengthening quality assurance systems, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organized professional who thrives in a dynamic environment and wants to help shape assessment practices within a newly established medical education program committed to excellence, innovation, and learner-centered education.
The ideal candidate is a collaborative and detail-oriented professional who excels in coordinating complex operations and managing multiple priorities in fast-paced environments. They demonstrate sound judgment under pressure, exceptional organizational skills, and a commitment to providing outstanding service to the learners. Success in this role requires strong communication and relationship-building abilities, a learner-centered mindset, and the ability to work effectively with diverse partners including faculty, clinicians, learners, and external vendors. The successful candidate embraces continuous improvement, values inclusivity and accessibility, and is motivated by the opportunity to contribute to high-quality assessment practices that support learner success in medical education.
