An online medical instructor teaches lessons related to medicine at the postsecondary level on a virtual platform. Your responsibilities revolve around preparing students to become medical professionals, such as nurses, doctors, or surgical assistants. You work from an established course curriculum to teach students how to perform specific procedures. You also administer graded assessments to track their progress. Depending on the institution at which you teach, you may have standard faculty duties as well, such as attending meetings and holding office hours. Since this is a postsecondary position, you may also conduct research for the university.
