We seek internal candidates for the position of Designated Institutional Official (DIO). Applicants should share a brief statement of interest and their CV to Michelle Howlett by September 20, 2020. Selection will be made by a committee co-chaired by Tom Ivester and Julie Byerley, and will include representatives from both UNC Hospitals and UNC SOM.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in oversight of GME programs, strong leadership skills, experience working across clinical disciplines, and a commitment to the clinical, educational, research, and service missions of UNC SOM and UNC Health.  Applicants with backgrounds underrepresented in medicine are especially encouraged to apply.    This role is 70% FTE and is salaried based on national norms.  The responsibilities of the DIO are outlined by the ACGME, and in our setting the DIO has a dual reporting structure to both the hospital and the SOM.

Several weeks ago we advertised the recruitment of an Associate DIO position.  Given the transition in leadership in the DIO role, that search has been discontinued.  We are grateful to those who chose to apply for that role and invite your applications for this position if it would be of interest to you.
