The Department sponsors 16 ACGME-accredited and eight non-ACGME fellowship programs in 11 divisions, many of which are ranked in the top ten.

Reporting to the Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine, the VCE will provide leadership, strategy, and coordination of all the undergraduate and graduate programs in the DOIM while also serving as the residency program director. The successful candidate will have overseen large, complex, and dynamic programs and will be an institutional thinker, collaborative leader, consummate mentor, and superb communicator. The VCE will be knowledgeable about the trends in medical education, the changing landscape of academic medicine, and the advances in technology affecting medical education and patient care. The VCE will be thoughtful about the issues facing medical student and Internal Medicine training today, including recruitment, wellness, and preparation for a range of career paths. Candidates must have an MD or equivalent clinical doctoral degree, be board-certified in Internal Medicine, and be eligible for licensure in Michigan.
