Lebanon, United States Dartmouth Health Full time

The Section Chief of Geriatrics is a physician member of the Section leadership team, which also includes the Practice Manager and the Nurse Manager. Together this team is responsible for the overall direction, operation, and management of the Section of Geriatrics in accordance with its operational, educational, and research missions, which are aligned with the Department of Medicine, Dartmouth Health, and the Geisel School of Medicine. As a leadership team, they create a work environment of mutual respect and psychological safety, based on commitment to a shared purpose.

The Section Chief serves as a physician role model of appropriate, expert, compassionate, and high-value clinical care, of effective teaching of learners at all levels, and of respectful and inclusive relationships with interprofessional colleagues within the Section and throughout the Organization. The Section Chief is appointed by, reports to, and serves at the discretion of the Department Chair.

The Chief will work to lead the newly created Section of Geriatrics, developing a comprehensive plan for the care of older adults across inpatient, ambulatory, long-term care, rehab, and home settings. Goals include expanding the section's outreach and creating a comprehensive system-wide plan to meet the tripartite mission of providing outstanding clinical care, developing a rich educational environment for learners, and creating a milieu for cutting-edge research to improve the care of older adults and those with complex illnesses.

The longer-term plan includes creating an interdisciplinary geriatrics fellowship, so experience running a graduate medical education program for learners of varying disciplines is desirable.
