Job description

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine and Population Science, is recruiting academic general internists interested in clinical internal medicine and medical education.

The Division brings together clinical care, education, research, and community partnerships to improve health outcomes for all people. Three integrated domains, one shared purpose — we collaborate across care, research, and education to advance health outcomes. The division is recruiting primarily to support the expansion of clinical care: expansion of the inpatient general internal medicine service, growth of the resident continuity clinic, ambulatory general medicine faculty practices at both the University and County health clinic sites, and a faculty transitional/complex care clinic.

Position Details

• Rank: Open Rank — Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor
• Track: Clinician-Educator
• Tenure Status: Non-Tenure Earning
• Payroll Status: Faculty 12 (12-month appointment)
• Assignment Category: Full-Time
• Start Date: Negotiable

Primary Duties And Responsibilities

Clinical responsibilities may include any or all of the following: direct patient care in outpatient settings at any of our sites; attending on the Division's inpatient general internal medicine teaching services at UAB Hospital or the Birmingham VA Medical Center; and outpatient resident precepting at UAB, the Birmingham VA Medical Center, and/or Cooper Green Mercy Health System. Call expectations will depend on specific clinical assignments.

Depending on skills and preferences, teaching opportunities may include ward attending and ambulatory precepting as above, didactic and small-group teaching of medical students and residents, and mentorship of residents and medical students. Faculty participate in the Division's medical-education scholarship and graduate medical education committees. Expectations for clinician educators include small and large group teaching in educational conferences and morning reports. Applicants with education fellowship training or experience in clinician educator roles may be eligible for leadership roles or protected time for teaching.

While opportunities for research are available, dedicated research effort is not a requirement of the position. We aim to support faculty interested in medical education scholarship, quality improvement, population health, or health services research appropriate to a position as Clinician-Educator.

Our faculty teach learners across the spectrum of medical education, including UAB Internal Medicine Residency, the UAB Heersink School of Medicine undergraduate medical education curriculum, and across the Division's fellowship programs.
