The UCSF School of Medicine seeks a new Associate Dean for Students (ADS). The ADS provides leadership in the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of initiatives to ensure the academic success, personal wellbeing, community building, and informed career choices of our talented medical students.
The ADS serves as an essential member of the Vice Dean's leadership team. The ADS functions as a collaborative colleague with the Associate Dean for Admissions, the Associate Dean for Curriculum, the Associate Dean for Competency Assessment and Professional Standards, and the Associate Dean for Regional Campuses as well as the directors of the Joint Medical Program with UC Berkeley, the Medical Scientist Training Program, the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Program, the Program for Medical Education for the Urban Underserved, the San Joaquin Valley PRIME Program, and School of Medicine student coaches for issues related to student wellbeing and success. The ADS oversees a staff of educational professionals and academic counselors on the Student Experience Team who work collaboratively with students and faculty to support the comprehensive student educational experience and to guide students' professional identity formation as they transition from students to physicians. In addition, the ADS is responsible for oversight of the following programs: advising for diverse students, career advising and specialty selection, students' applications through the National Residency Matching Program, student wellbeing, and accommodations for medical students with protected disabilities. At the campus level, the ADS works closely with the Director of Student Disability Services, the registrar, student financial aid services, student health and counseling, the Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination, and the student deans of the other UCSF health professions schools.
The ADS is expected to use evidence-based strategies in this work and to contribute to the national conversations on professional identity formation; diversity, equity and inclusion; student wellness; mentoring and advising; career counseling; and the residency match.
This is envisioned to be a 0.90 FTE position, funded through the Office of Medical Education. The additional 0.10 FTE professional effort will be compensated by the individual's home department for contributions to that department.
Personal Qualifications
• We seek a physician educator and leader with the capacity to
inspire, support, and encourage students, staff and faculty.
• The ADS must demonstrate expertise in student support, advising
and professional identity formation.
• The ADS must enthusiastically and expertly support and advance
our culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• The ADS must design and implement the systems needed to ensure
that the Student Experience Team sustains and continuously improves
student support.
• The ADS will be expected to demonstrate or develop expertise in
the curriculum of the School of Medicine, the developmental
challenges facing our diverse community of students during this
intensely formative period of their lives, and the legal and
regulatory environment in which medical education operates.
• The work of the ADS is done with and through others and thus, the
successful candidate must be able to engage and empower School of
Medicine faculty and staff to advance our collective work and to
ensure a positive environment for all.
• Essential skills include creative problem solving, collaborative
teamwork, critical thinking, the ability to work within systems,
and clear written and spoken communication.

- An MD degree;
- Experience in undergraduate medical education with documented effectiveness as a teacher and/or mentor of medical students;
