Position Information
The UCR SOM became operational in 2013 as the first public MD-granting medical school to open in California in 40 years with a specific mission to train a diverse physician workforce to serve Inland Southern California and to deliver programs in clinical care and research that address the needs of this medically underserved region. As the only community-based SOM in the UC system, it does not own or operate a hospital, nor does it have a single, primary hospital affiliate partner. Instead, the UCR SOM has affiliation agreements with many hospitals and providers to support clinical training.
Founded in 2016, UCR Health is the clinical enterprise, designed to improve the health of the people through innovative health care delivery programs that provide the right care. As an extension of UCR SOM, UCR Health commits to training the next generation of physicians who pioneer patient-centered care and research. UCR Health is comprised of a team of physicians, specialists and healthcare professionals dedicated to improving the health of individuals and their families.
The CEO of UCR Health is the strategic and operational leader of the overall clinical enterprise of the UC Riverside School of Medicine. The CEO will work collaboratively with the clinical Department Chairs to set a vision and create and implement a strategic plan that will achieve clinical and operational excellence, financial stability, and will serve the academic and clinical service missions of the School of Medicine. Working with the UCR Health leadership team, the CEO is responsible for the overall functionality and operational performance of clinics and support infrastructure. The CEO interacts and collaborates with other University of California (UC) CEOs of the medical centers that are also part of UC Health, and works collaboratively with Department Chairs to build and enhance partnerships and affiliations with hospitals and health care systems in the Inland Empire. In development of affiliations and relationships with other providers and facilities, the CEO must understand the importance of these relationships being consonant with and supportive of the educational and training responsibilities of UCR School of Medicine. An important responsibility of the position is to lead the development of a clinical strategic plan for UCR Health, and to chart a course toward a sustainable academic clinical enterprise. The CEO has oversight of all clinical affiliations, partnerships, joint ventures, clinical operations, marketing, contracting and related managed care activities for the clinical enterprise.
The incumbent ensures the following goals: providing excellent clinical care, creating an environment which fosters patient’s well-being as well as the satisfaction of faculty, staff and students and fulfilling compliance with regulatory policies/procedures; providing excellent opportunities for training the next generation of future physicians; engaging in clinical research that benefits our patient population; developing programs of excellence and generating revenues to support the academic mission.
For full consideration, candidates are required to submit a cover letter, resume, and statement of contributions to diversity. Candidates may be asked to submit work samples and conduct a presentation as a part of the interview process.
In a statement of contributions to diversity, we ask applicants to describe their past and/or potential future contributions to promoting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment, which is a key requirement of the role of every faculty member and administrator at UCR. There are numerous ways to contribute, and a commitment to this part of our mission can be reflected through research, teaching, supervision, mentoring, community engagement, service, and any of the other varied activities that are a part of an academic career.
*As a condition of employment, you will be required to comply with the UC Vaccination Policy.*
