Assistant Professor: General Internal Medicine

The Department of Medicine (DOM) is seeking to hire an outpatient academic general internist and clinician educator in the Division of General Internal Medicine (GIM) at the University of Minnesota (UMN). This physician will work in the Primary Care Center in the M Health Clinics and Surgery Center and will be appointed to the academic track at the rank of Assistant Professor. As an academic primary care practice, the Primary Care Center tends to serve three distinct patient populations - those with complex chronic conditions that are often co-managed by subspecialists at the University, those who live in the nearby surrounding urban neighborhoods, and faculty and staff from the University community. The Primary Care Clinic is located within the Clinics and Surgery Center (CSC), a modern facility which opened in 2016 and houses the outpatient practice of M Health Physicians at the University, with access to advanced imaging and laboratory testing seven days a week. There is also outpatient IV therapy through the Specialty Infusion and Procedure Center.

Our faculty physicians have clinics scheduled Monday through Friday in four hour blocks between 7am and 7pm. We also staff a Saturday morning clinic, no more than 6 per academic year. We have flexibility in creating a clinic schedule to suit a variety of needs. Evening and weekend call duties are minimal and fully supported by Fairview Nurse Advisors triage.

The role will include educational responsibilities typical of an academic clinical setting, and will include teaching medical students and residents. In addition, there will be opportunities to participate in quality improvement, medical education, interdisciplinary collaboration, research, and other scholarly activities.

The candidate will have a commitment to scholarship (clinical, quality improvement, medical education, and/or research). Advancement within the institution will depend on demonstration of clinical and scholarly achievement. The Department of Medicine has a mentoring program for all assistant professors to support them in their clinical, educational and scholarship pursuits.

This position offers a competitive salary, excellent fringe benefits, and an intellectually exciting environment.
