Search Committee - Dean, College of Medicine
Jul 24 2006Douglas J. Barrett, M.D.
Senior Vice President, Health Affairs
I am pleased to report that the Search Committee charged with helping to identify the next Dean for the University of Florida College of Medicine has been selected.
I have asked Kathleen Long, Ph.D., A.P.R.N., F.A.A.N., Dean of the College of Nursing, to chair the committee and Dr. Win Phillips, UF//'//s Vice President for Research to serve as vice-chair. The committee members will include the following faculty:
- Mavis Agbandge-McKenna, PhD
- Ken Berns, MD, PhD
- Ed Block, MD
- Kendall Campbell, MD
- Fonda Eyler, MD
- Terry Flotte, MD, PhD
- William Friedman, MD
- Susan Frost, PhD
- Heather Harrell, MD
- Richard Johnson, MD
- Lucia Notterpek, PhD
- Robert Nuss, MD
- Marco Pahor, MD
- Johannes Vieweg, MD
- Charles Wood, PhD
In addition to these faculty, Mr. Tim Goldfarb, CEO of Shands HealthCare, Ms. Karen Bodnar, Med IV, and Dr. Karl Altenburger from the FMA, will also serve.
The committee will cast a wide net to find the absolute best candidates who have the skills and experience to lead the college through a future filled with opportunities and challenges. The committee will be assisted by an executive search firm that will be named by early to mid-August. The development of the position description, recruitment and screening of applicants by the search firm, and the initial evaluation of prospective candidates will occupy much of the fall. Ideally, on-campus interviews of the most competitive candidates will occur in late winter/early spring, with the new dean selected by late spring and in place by next summer.
Mr. Fred Malphurs and Dr. Brad Bender will be available to the committee as liaisons to the VAMC.
Public documents, meeting times and other information pertinent to the search are posted at http://www.med.ufl.edu/deansearch/. In addition, there will be ample opportunity for faculty and staff to interact with the top candidates during their campus visits.
I greatly appreciate the willingness of Dean Long and Dr. Phillips, and the other members of the Search Committee to take on this responsibility of vital importance to the College of Medicine and the University. July 24 2006
