Leadership Search and Selection at Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals

The process by which leaders are identified for important roles in medical schools and teaching hospitals-deans, CEOs, department chairs, center directors, and other major administrative positions-traditionally has followed an "academic search" model.

But commentators have asserted that "the current system is in major disarray" and that "most search committees are ill equipped or unwilling to undertake the labor intensive process required to truly search" for new leaders.

Working with member medical schools and teaching hospitals, the AAMC is developing a suite of resources and tools to help institutions improve the process by which they search for and select institutional leaders.
