Position Summary:

The Associate Dean, Academic Affairs - Clinical Education is an administrative leadership role with a non-tenure track faculty appointment as an Open Rank Professor in one of the HCOM clinical departments (Primary Care, Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, or Specialty Medicine). As a faculty leader, the Associate Dean contributes to the College's missions of teaching, clinical education, educational scholarship, faculty development, and academic governance while providing strategic leadership for clinical education across the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine curriculum.

This role provides academic leadership for the clinical components of the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine curriculum, including pre-clerkship clinical skills education, clerkships, electives, and other experiential learning activities.

The position actively participates in teaching, faculty development, educational scholarship, and shared governance, ensuring that clinical education remains aligned with institutional priorities, osteopathic principles, and accreditation standards.

Because the position is responsible for core academic functions, including clinical curriculum design, learner assessment, competency evaluation, teaching, faculty development, educational scholarship, and academic governance, a faculty appointment is essential to provide appropriate academic authority, peer credibility, and alignment with accreditation expectations.

This position works in close collaboration with the Associate Dean, Academic Affairs - Medical Education and the Associate Dean for Health System Operations to ensure integration of foundational and clinical education across the four-year curriculum and to maintain compliance with Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) standards.
