On behalf of Dr. Glenn Flores, Chair of Pediatrics and Sr. Assoc. Dean of Child Health at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (MSOM), CareerPhysician, LLC, the national leader in academic child-health executive search and leadership development, has initiated an international search to identify a transformational leader to serve as the MSOM Chief of the Division of Adolescent Medicine.

• The incoming Chief will have the tremendous opportunity to elevate an adolescent medicine section to a division, with the vision to achieve national pre-eminence in the specialty through exceptional clinical care, teaching, research, and advocacy.

Opportunity Highlights:

• The future Division of Adolescent Medicine at the MSOM is poised for significant growth and development under a new visionary leader. The program offers a unique opportunity to work in a multicultural environment, with a diverse patient population, including immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean, and underserved communities.

• The program is distinguished by its collaborative efforts across multiple specialties, enhancing its ability to provide comprehensive care. Strong partnerships exist with Psychiatry, Psychology, Med-Peds, General/Community Pediatrics, Gynecology, Sports Medicine, and Pediatric Gastroenterology, creating numerous opportunities for shared learning and expertise exchange.

• Multiple areas of interest will be supported by the Department of Pediatrics, with unique opportunities to be part of the Batchelor Children’s Research Institute, as well as to collaborate with the Mailman Center for Child Development, an academic center at MSOM that is one of the top-10 programs in the United States for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and chronic illness.
