The University of California, Los Angeles invites applicants and nominations for a nationally recognized leader to join the David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) as the Vice Dean for Education. The successful incumbent would be considered for the Maxine and Eugene Rosenfeld Endowed Chair in Medical Education, a term endowed chair. The purpose of the Chair is to support the teaching and research activities of outstanding faculty and help advance medical education by supporting the further development of new and emerging leaders in the medical education enterprise.

Reporting to the Dean, David Geffen School of Medicine, the Vice Dean for Education (VDE) has responsibility for developing, managing and implementing strategies, initiatives and innovative programs to promote and support education and training across the DGSOM and strengthening UCLA's position as a national leader in academic health sciences.

The VDE provides strategic oversight of all educational programs at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, spanning undergraduate medical education (UME), MD admissions, graduate medical education (GME), continuing medical education (CME), Graduate Programs in Bioscience, the Medical Scientist Training Program, postdoctoral programs, and the Donated Body Program.

The VDE must be highly proactive in creating and deploying infrastructure and supporting programs that enhance and expand UCLA's already widely recognized reputation for excellence in research, education, clinical care, and community outreach. Working with Health Sciences faculty and administrative leadership, the Vice Dean needs to anticipate and act upon opportunities to enhance health sciences education, leverage UCLA's unique strengths, and position the School to play a leadership role in building the future of medicine through leading edge programs in education and training.

All candidates must have an MD, PhD, or equivalent degree and the appropriate academic credentials for a faculty appointment within the DGSOM at UCLA at the rank of associate or full professor, a deep commitment to the academic mission, the ability to build trust with faculty, staff, students, and trainees, the capacity for objective review and decision-making, and an unwavering moral and ethical compass in alignment with the values and mission of the DGSOM.
