Erlanger Health also oversees the operations of Children's Hospital at Erlanger, the region's only comprehensive pediatric medical center within 100 miles.

This DIO position, in collaboration with a Graduate Medical Education Committee, has authority and responsibility for the oversight and administration of each of the colleges' ACGME-accredited programs, as well as ensuring compliance with ACGME Institutional, Common, and specialty-/subspecialty- program requirements.

The successful applicant will be responsible for, but not limited to: providing leadership for the institution's ACGME accredited residency programs and fellowships; in concert with the GME leadership team and in alignment with the UTHSC-College of Medicine strategic goals, developing the vision and direction of the graduate medical education program; overseeing submission of required program and institutional annual updates to both governing bodies and sponsoring/participating institutions; and chairing the Graduate Medical Education Committee.

This position will report to the Dean of the College of Medicine-Chattanooga. Faculty rank is commensurate with education and experience.
