The successful candidate will serve as the Head of the School, overseeing its academic programs, research activities, and service functions. This leadership role involves managing the budget and personnel, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, relevant curriculum, and maintaining the School's accreditation standards. The Executive Director will also be responsible for fostering a culture of excellence, both on-campus and online, and for building and sustaining collaborative relationships with local healthcare institutions.
