On behalf of our client, John M. Flack, M.D., M.P.H., Chair, Department of Internal Medicine at
Wayne State University College of Human Medicine,
Detroit, Michigan, we are seeking qualified
candidates for the Chief of Rheumatology position.
The new chief will have an opportunity to
build on the existing programs and create the
vision for the Division of Rheumatology.
The Division of Rheumatology is located in the Wayne State
University/Detroit Medical Center at Hutzel
Hospital (also the location of the Department of
Orthopedic Surgery), making this site a Center for
the comprehensive treatment of rheumatic diseases.
The new Chief will provide leadership and
mentorship in research to a diverse and
multidisciplinary department that includes both
M.D. and Ph.D. faculty, and strengthen
undergraduate and graduate medical education
across the communities served by the department.
The Wayne State University School of Medicine is the
nation’s largest single-campus medical school in
the country, with over 700 faculty, 1,000 medical
students and more than 400 graduate students. The
successful candidate will lead the Division of
Rheumatology in its clinical, academic and
research endeavors.
WSU’s School of Medicine is affiliated with the
hospitals of the Detroit Medical Center, which
include Children’s Hospital of Michigan, the
Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, Hutzel
Women’s Hospital, Detroit Receiving Hospital,
Harper University Hospital, Sinai Grace Hospital,
Huron Valley Sinai Hospital and the Michigan
Orthopedic Hospital. It maintains a research and
education partnership with Henry Ford Health
Center, in Detroit, and coordinates teaching
experiences with 14 community hospitals through
the Southeast Michigan Center for Medical
Education.
The school’s ties to the community are strong.
As the only medical school in Detroit, WSU has a
stated mission to improve the overall health of
the community. As part of this mission, the School
has established, with the help of a $6 million NIH
grant, the Center for Urban & African-American
Health to seek new ways to redress health
disparities by identifying preventive strategies
and therapeutic approaches to chronic diseases
that plague this population, namely obesity,
cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The
candidate must be eligible for licensure to
practice medicine in the State of Michigan and
certified by the American Board of Rheumatology.
The successful candidate should have a strong
track record of academic achievement, research and
publications, including demonstrated ability to
attract external funding; and a commitment to
education and teaching including mentoring and
teaching skills. A tenured system professorship
will be available for the appropriate candidate.
