Reporting to the Chair of the Department of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and Executive Medical Director of the Department of Medicine at UCLA Health Dr. E. Dale Abel, this is a particularly dynamic time for the department and the next division chief, as the department begins to implement a strategic plan to achieve its vision to lead in innovation, transform care, and advance health for all. The division chief works collaboratively with clinical, academic, and administrative leaders within the department, school of medicine and UCLA Health, to advance the mission of excellence in clinical care, education, research, and community engagement, while further elevating the stature of the division in the region and nationally. In addition, the chief cultivates a collegial, inclusive, and multidisciplinary culture consistent with the principles of the DGSOM’s Cultural North Star, providing mentorship to faculty members, trainees, and students while also upholding UCLA Health’s patient-experience model, CICARE, and promoting clinical quality, safety, and operational distinction.
