Chair, Department of Otolaryngology - Association of American Medical Colleges : Job Details

UHealth/Miller School of Medicine seeks an inspirational, eminently capable Chair to lead a nationally revered Department of Otolaryngology and continue its trajectory of growth. UHealth is a large, complex health enterprise comprised of organizations aligned with a vision of better health and innovative discovery. Research, education, and clinical excellence and dynamism are integral to enterprise success. As a key component, the department is thriving across academic missions and is driven by a committed team of faculty. It is the ideal platform to pursue growth opportunities in clinical services and research across the health system, the Miller School of Medicine, and Sylvester.

With overall responsibility for department strategy, operations, and people leadership, the Chair will further catalyze pathbreaking treatments in otolaryngology and the delivery of team-based, patient-first care.

The Chair will be a national leader in ENT societies and cooperative groups and bring successful experience in recruiting, retaining, and developing faculty.
