- *Overview We are seeking a Part-Time Podcast Producer & Coordinator to elevate our established medical education podcast. Now in its sixth year, our show delivers continuing medical education (CME) content to a growing audience of healthcare professionals. This role is an opportunity to move beyond basic production support and take ownership of strategy, listener engagement, and content development. You will report to the podcast host and work in close coordination with our CME team. Your focus will be on the areas that deepen the podcast’s impact: building a listener community, using data to guide content decisions, identifying compelling guests, and ensuring every episode is polished and professionally produced. This is not a student internship. We are looking for someone whose schedule allows consistent, reliable availability and who can bring professional experience and independent judgment to the role.
