2 months ago

WinstonSalem, United States Atrium Health Full time
Job Description

The Department of Internal Medicine is seeking multiple open-rank faculty (MD, PhD, or equivalent) to join their multidisciplinary team of Clinically Embedded Scholars who will help ensure evidence-based innovations are effectively integrated into clinical settings. An embedded scholar conducts operations-aligned research in close collaboration with a clinical department, service line, and/or center/institute with the goal to develop extramurally funded health systems and health care delivery research. In an era where healthcare is evolving at an unprecedented pace, Wake Forest University School of Medicine stands at the forefront of innovation, collaboration, and patient-centered impact. With an unwavering commitment to improving health, elevating hope, and advancing healing, we are shaping the future of healthcare through bolstering our commitment to being a next-generation academic Learning Health System (aLHS). With an increasingly diverse patient population, we are seeking to bridge the gap quicker between scientific discoveries and their practical applications in real-world healthcare settings.

To do this, we are launching faculty searches for Clinically Embedded Scholars, who will be critical to the realization of an effective aLHS. Our department thrives on collaboration, recognizing that solving complex healthcare challenges demands a collective effort. As part of a vibrant academic and clinical environment, we encourage multidisciplinary partnerships that span departments, centers, and institutes, magnifying the impact of patient-centered care that keeps patients safe, promotes healing, and includes, informs, and inspires patients.

Ideal candidates will have the following qualifications:
  • Proven publication history in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Demonstrated potential or established ability to secure extramural research funding that is commensurate with rank.
  • Strong dedication to collaborative team science and advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Experience or keen interest in conducting research aligned with operational aspects, working closely with clinical units to develop funded health systems and healthcare delivery projects.
  • Leadership in initiating and co-contributing to investigator-led research and clinical investigative teams (preferably both).
  • Proficiency in methodological skills including Implementation Science, Health Informatics, Systems Engineering, Healthcare Delivery research, etc.
  • Comprehensive understanding of complex challenges within healthcare delivery, medical science, and education within an integrated academic health system.
  • Track record of fostering an inclusive, transparent, and respectful organizational climate, with a comfortable demeanor in engaging with individuals across all levels.
  • Strong commitment to collaborative teamwork across departments, centers, and institutes.

While the position will primarily focus on research, excellence in healthcare delivery, clinical teaching and mentoring experience will be valued. Clinical responsibilities will be discussed based on the applicant's interests and needs of the health system, but clinical expectations would be limited. Scholars will be supported by a mix of health system funding and external grants.
