Executive Vice President for University Clinical Affairs and Dean

Indiana University (IU) seeks a forward-thinking, dynamic, and collaborative leader to serve as the next Executive Vice President for University Clinical Affairs and Dean of the School of Medicine (EVP/Dean). This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead the largest medical school in the nation, seizing on a legacy of broad educational reach, unprecedented research growth, a highly aligned clinical partnership with IU Health, and a flourishing innovation ecosystem across Indiana to bring the School of Medicine (IUSM) to new levels of success, prominence, and impact.

Located on the campus of IU Indianapolis and operating at scale across eight other regional campuses, IUSM trains the majority of physicians in Indiana and reaches nearly every corner of the state. As the only allopathic medical school in the state, IUSM offers four years of medical education at all nine campuses. Within the past decade, the School has expanded its class size by 30% and today enrolls nearly 1,500 medical students and trains more than 1,400 residents and fellows, 191 doctoral students, 176 master's students, and almost 236 undergraduate students in allied health fields and health professions programs.

IUSM benefits from close alignment with IU Health, Indiana’s largest and most comprehensive health care system, with 16 hospitals across the state. IUSM’s partnership with IU Health—further enhanced by the EVP/Dean serving as a member of the Board of Directors and Chair of its Research and Education Committee—spans the tripartite mission, offering innumerable opportunities for collaboration across five basic science departments, 20 clinical departments, and three highly regarded institutes: the Cardiovascular Institute, the Neuroscience Institute, and the Cancer Institute, which includes the Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in Indiana and one of only 57 in the nation. IU Health’s further expansion includes a $4 billion, 2-million-square-foot, 864-bed hospital scheduled for completion in 2027.

The EVP/Dean will work to leverage this extensive growth and wide-ranging reach to raise IUSM’s profile and strengthen collaborations across IU, Indiana, and beyond. The ideal candidate for the EVP/Dean role will be a highly accomplished and respected leader across all of IU’s missions – research, education, and clinical care – who brings proven administrative experience and a track record of bolstering scholarship, inspiring innovation, and leading an expansive clinical enterprise.
