Vice Chair Education, Department of Radiology

Dartmouth Health’s Department of Radiology is seeking a Vice Chair for Education (VCE) to join our dynamic Department in the beautiful Upper Valley region of New Hampshire and Vermont. Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, the system’s central clinical hub and Academic Medical Center, is located immediately adjacent to bustling college town of Hanover, NH. Hanover is home to the world-renowned Dartmouth College and Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.

We are seeking a skilled, visionary, and impactful radiologist leader to define and execute on a vision for incredible educational programs intended for all levels of learners: pre-medical pipeline programs, medical students, residents, fellows, faculty development programs, and continuing education programming for practicing attendings. Educating is central to the Department’s mission, with many well-known programs and well-known national educators calling Dartmouth home.

Dartmouth Radiology’s educational programs predominantly are housed at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), a nationally recognized tertiary care hospital with an NCI-designated cancer center, a comprehensive stroke center, and a level I trauma center.

For the Vice Chair’s clinical component, the Vice Chair will join a clinical section based on the candidate’s subspeciality and preferred practice area (e.g. abdominal imaging, emergency radiology, neuroradiology, mammography, etc).

The Vice Chair of Education will be a nationally known educator and educational leader, one capable of vision setting and execution. The Vice Chair will report to the Chair and be the Chair’s delegate to oversee all educational activities in the Department while also being the primary point of interface with the DHMC Graduate Medical Education (GME) office and the Geisel School of Medicine’s Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) program.

The VCE will vision set, support, grow, enhance, and oversee the following programs

• Pipeline programs for pre-medical students and non-physician learners
• Medical student education
• Departmental residencies
• Departmental fellowship programs
• Faculty development programing as it interfaces with educating, including programs on how to teach
• Continuing medical education (CME) programming for faculty and external practicing radiologists

The Dartmouth Health Department of Radiology is a national leader in teaching radiology to medical students, with numerous nationally- and internationally-recognized educators and extensive dissemination of scholarly work pertaining to educational techniques and novel programs. These programs are constantly evolving and there is a desire to continue our long history in disseminating best practices in the education of students. Dartmouth Radiology hosts multiple outstanding residencies, including in Diagnostic Radiology and an integrated DR/IR program, as well as multiple fellowships.

Our students, residents, and fellows learn in the setting of our thriving clinical practice. We want our clinical services to be a welcoming, safe, and educational place for learners, and toward that goal, the VCE will work closely with the Vice Chair for Clinical Operations. The VCE will also interface with other Vice Chairs in the areas where education and learners intersect, including the mission critical areas of Quality, IT, and Research.

The VCE will also interface with section heads and section educational liaisons.

We anticipate the VCE, along with our Vice Chair for Research, will help our students and trainees in engaging in scholarship as needed by their programs, and as desired for their…
