Position SummaryThe College of Human Medicine (CHM or the College) at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications and nominations for Dean. The College seeks an expert administrator and outstanding communicator to play a critical leadership role in shaping, integrating, and implementing the overall strategy for CHM to grow and further enhance education, research and innovation, clinical care, and service to the community. MSU, a Big Ten university founded in 1855, is one of the nation’s premier land-grant institutions and a member of the Association of American Universities. Founded in 1964, CHM is a community integrated medical school that includes seven campuses across the state of Michigan, in areas ranging from rural to urban, and has a robust roster of clinical partners. This broad network provides students with comprehensive training in clinical settings that parallel the environments in which most physicians practice. The seven community campuses are Flint, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Midland Regional, Southeast Michigan, Traverse City, and the Upper Peninsula. In early 2021, MSU entered a partnership with the Henry Ford Health System that will expand MSU’s presence in Detroit through the development of an eighth community campus and the creation of a Health Sciences Center, with a projected opening date of Fall 2023. CHM is a critical component of MSU’s extensive human health care enterprise, which also includes the College of Osteopathic Medicine, the College of Nursing, and MSU Health Care, which is a separate 501(c)3 that represents more than 600 faculty and provides services for 400,000 inpatient and outpatient visits in 100 locations. The Dean of CHM will report to the Executive Vice President for Health Sciences, a role created in 2019 to provide better alignment in patient care, education, and research across the human health sciences. The Dean will engage talent and expertise across the health sciences at MSU and the statewide network to develop, coordinate, and support interdisciplinary research, inter-professional education, and clinical practice.Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
