The VC-E will be expected to support the Department's commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. The successful candidate will be expected to develop strong organizational skills and collaborate with other departmental leaders positively and proactively. Positive factors for consideration include but are not limited to, higher-level training in education (such as a Master of Science in Education) and prominent presence in professional organizations. Additionally, the successful candidate will be expected to develop significant expertise in medical education leadership and undergraduate medical education; develop a strong record of scholarly activity and medical education research or curriculum design; and engage in continuing medical education.
The UW School of Medicine has an outstanding national reputation for teaching, clinical service and research. Likewise, the UW Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, founded in 1960 by Dr. John Bonica, is ranked among the leading academic departments in the country. With 245 clinical and research faculty members, 90 staff members, and 115 affiliated clinical faculty, we are one of the largest departments in the UW School of Medicine. Our education program oversees 112 residents (the School of Medicine’s second largest residency program) and 38 postdoctoral scholars and ACGME fellows.
Educational Activities: Our educational programs teach trainee physicians the knowledge, skills, and professionalism required for clinical excellence; promote compassionate patient care; inspire a sense of inquiry and life-long learning; and develop leaders in anesthesiology, pain medicine, and critical care for the 21st century. We currently train 110 anesthesiology residents, 1-2 emergency medicine and neurosurgery residents, 4 OMFS residents, 18 ACGME fellows, 5-10 faculty fellows, 2 ALNW & paramedic students, and 12-15 medical students. Our residency program features five different training opportunities – including the Bonica Scholars Program, which incorporates research training that optimally continues in to a T32 fellowship – across eight hospital sites. Our fellowship program features a wide variety of clinical and research training opportunities in all four ACGME-accredited subspecialty areas as well as eight innovative non-ACGME-accredited subspecialty areas. UW APM also maintains an active medical student clerkship program in both anesthesiology and pain medicine.
Clinical Activities: Our clinical footprint is comprised of nine clinical divisions – Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology, Obstetric Anesthesiology, Neuroanesthesiology & Perioperative Neurosciences, Seattle Children’s Hospital (Pediatric Anesthesiology), UW Medical Center-Montlake Multispecialty Anesthesiology, Critical Care Anesthesiology, Harborview Medical Center, VA Puget Sound Hospital, and Pain Medicine – across six University and University-affiliated sites, including the Montlake and Northwest campuses of the UW Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center (the only Level-1 trauma center in the five-state WWAMI region), Seattle Children’s Hospital, and VA Puget Sound Hospital.
Research Activities: UW APM conducts extensive, well-funded research at UW South Lake Union, Seattle Children’s Research Institute, and at laboratories in the UW Health Sciences complex. Our current annual research direct funding from both government and private sources is approximately $10 million.
A full-time faculty appointment will be at the Associate or Full Professor rank (without tenure due to funding). Salary and academic appointment at the University of Washington will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, and academic rank. Associate and Full Professors hold indefinite appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30). Faculty with 12-month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12-month period (July-June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off. The base salary range for this position will be $30,000 - $39,584 per month ($360,000 - $475,008 annually), commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a US Department of Labor prevailing wage determination. This range is inclusive of base salary provided through the UW Physicians (UWP) practice plan or Children’s University Medical Group (CUMG) practice plan, in addition to base salary provided by the University.
