Train the clinicians
the region needs.
A hybrid faculty role for specialist educators. Remote-first, with structured visits to India. Lead board rounds, formal teaching, and assessments — without leaving your current practice.
Three tiers.
One founding group.
VIPER is built around three interdependent tiers of clinical leadership — each with a distinct mandate, engagement model, and level of authority. You are reading about Tier 2.
Founding Specialists
On-site clinical specialists building services and managing cases at the front line. Full relocation. Full ownership of their specialty vertical.

Specialist Educators
Hybrid model. Remote-first with 2–4 structured visits per year. Lead didactic teaching, board rounds, formal assessment, and journal club.

Board Members
Governance-level. Setting residency standards, designing examinations, assessing instructors, and certifying competence across all professional groups.
View Tier 3 →
Hybrid. Flexible.
No relocation required.
Tier 2 faculty operate primarily remotely — delivering teaching, leading rounds, and running assessments from wherever you are. Structured visits to India allow for hands-on instruction, on-site assessment, and face-to-face engagement with trainees.
Multiple faculty per specialty means the travel can be shared and rotated — so no single person carries a disproportionate commitment.
visits per year
2-week blocks · hands-on instruction · on-site assessment
Multiple faculty can share a specialty — rotated to distribute the travel commitment across willing educators.
Seven teaching pillars.
Across specialists, ER vets, and nurses.
Recorded didactic instruction
Recorded lessons for asynchronous delivery — topic ownership within your specialty, structured to defined learning objectives. The academic backbone of the clinical training programme.
Live board rounds
Lead live, case-based board rounds — remotely week-to-week, in person during visits. Teaching diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision-making in the context of real patients.
Formal teaching & assessment
Structured formal assessments and informal ongoing evaluation during rounds. Competency evaluation against defined frameworks — including certification support for trainees at milestone stages.
Journal club
Lead evidence-based journal club sessions — selecting, reviewing, and critically appraising current literature in your specialty, connecting it directly to clinical practice and patient outcomes.
Your expertise, on your terms.
No relocation
Remain in your current position. Tier 2 is designed around your existing life — not a demand to uproot it.
Flexible scheduling
Remote sessions scheduled around your availability. Visit dates planned well in advance with flexibility for your calendar.
Travel fully supported
All travel, accommodation, and costs during India visits are covered. No out-of-pocket expense for your commitment.
Shared specialty load
Multiple faculty per specialty means the teaching and travel load is distributed — no single person carries it all.
Curriculum input
You help shape what gets taught in your specialty — not just deliver a pre-written script. Meaningful influence over the academic programme.
Honorarium & recognition
Competitive honorarium for your time, plus formal recognition as founding faculty in the VIPER programme.
Clinical depth with
a teaching instinct
You're a board-certified specialist who has always found the teaching side of the job as compelling as the clinical side. You're comfortable leading rounds, explaining your reasoning, and helping a trainee understand why — not just what.
You may already hold a faculty appointment, or you may be the person in your department who everyone comes to when they're stuck. Either way, you know how to translate specialist knowledge into something a good trainee can build on.
- Board-certified or equivalent specialist qualification
- Active clinical practice with a strong caseload
- Teaching experience — formal or informal
- Comfortable leading rounds and live discussions remotely
- Interest in curriculum design and competency frameworks
- Willing to travel to India 2–4 times per year
