President

The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (HSC) invites inquiries, nominations, and applications for the position of President.

 

Earlier this year, after ten years of distinguished service, Dr. Michael Williams was promoted from his role as President of HSC to Chancellor of the University of North Texas (UNT) System. As the system’s fourth Chancellor, Dr. Williams oversees all operational aspects of the multi-location system. This includes general oversight of a $1.3 billion budget, 14,000 employees, 49,000 students, and the UNT System’s member institutions – the University of North Texas in Denton, the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth and the University of North Texas at Dallas.

 

His promotion to a larger leadership role sets the stage for the next President of HSC to build upon the University’s successes, its rich history, and its commitment to students and the state of Texas. The Chancellor and Board of Regents seek a visionary, inspiring, and highly energetic academic leader who will enhance HSC’s student-centered learning environment and promote effective teaching, research, and community engagement.

 

The University
HSC is one of twelve public, health-related institutions in Texas. HSC is located in north central Texas and serves the entire state of Texas. The school was chartered as Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) in 1966 and accepted its first students in 1970. In 1975, Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine was established as a state medical school under the University of North Texas (UNT) Board of Regents (formerly North Texas State University). Today, HSC comprises the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, the School of Biomedical Sciences, the School of Public Health, the School of Health Professions, and the College of Pharmacy. HSC is also home to a Physician Assistant program, a Physical Therapy program, and several interdisciplinary Health Institutes and Centers.

 

HSC enrolls 2,472 students from diverse backgrounds, nationalities, and ethnic origins supported by 285 faculty, 1,152 staff, an operational budget of more than $282.7 million and an endowment of over $115.5 million. In addition to HSC’s commitment to its academic and outreach mission, its research enterprise is well-known for its multi-faceted nature and secured $67.4 million in sponsored research awards in 2021.

HSC Values Based Culture

A distinctive feature of HSC is its clear focus on a set of common values. Our values define who we are and reinforce the idea that people matter. In 2013 our institution took a deliberate approach to become a values-based organization. With trust as the foundation, our people established five values with associated behaviors that influence how we interact with each other on a daily basis. Not only do these common values promote a work environment in which all are comfortable, but also an atmosphere in which everyone can best achieve:

 

  • Our mission: Create solutions for a healthier community.
  • Our Vision: One university, built on values, defining and producing the providers of the future.
  • Our purpose: Transform lives in order to improve the lives of others.
