The University of Minnesota Medical School seeks a nationally recognized academic physician leader to serve as Professor and Chair of the Department of Family Medicine & Community Health (DFMCH) following the retirement of Dr. James Pacala, who has led the department since 2017. As one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive medical schools, the University includes campuses in the Twin Cities, Duluth, and St. Cloud and benefits from a unique health sciences environment that brings together schools of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, public health, and veterinary medicine.

Reporting to the Dean of the Medical School and Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, the Chair will provide strategic leadership for the department's clinical, educational, and research missions while also serving as the Family Medicine Clinical Service Unit Leader within University of Minnesota Physicians.
