ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are looking for dynamic, creative clinical educators to help us improve and expand our clinical education product, which helps medical students succeed on their rotations, their shelf exams, and the USMLE Step 2. Sketchy has helped over 100,000 med students become doctors with courses like SketchyMicro, SketchyPharm, SketchyIM, and Sketchy Ob/Gyn; our team works to continuously improve these courses and build new content to help medical students achieve their goals.
For this Content Developer role, deep experience as a clinician educator is preferred, but what we want most of all is someone who is ready to push for excellent, genuinely innovative resources and perspectives on medical school content. What makes Sketchy’s approach unique is the “writer’s room” attitude we bring to content creation. We synthesize good teaching, deep content expertise, talented artists and video staff, and our own personality and sense of humor—ultimately creating a product that is fun and unforgettable. Expect to bring some of those creative ideas and some past work product, if applicable, to the interview process.
We are hiring in both full-time and part-time capacities for this team. If you have a preference for one or the other, please indicate this in your application. Here at Sketchy, we value the clinical expertise that our Content Developers bring to the table, and are happy to partner with our clinicians who wish to balance clinical practice with impactful work beyond the clinical setting.
Note: While you will always have a seat to work from at our Los Angeles Headquarters, our transition to a remote-first company will allow you to work from the location of your choice in select states across the country. As travel and working conditions return back to “normal”, we will find opportunities to increasingly meet and collaborate in person.
LOCATION: THIS ROLE IS OPEN TO REMOTE EMPLOYEES IN SELECT US STATES: CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, HAWAII, ILLINOIS, MASSACHUSETTS, NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, TEXAS, WASHINGTON, AND WASHINGTON, D.C.
