The Position:
National Louis University is seeking a visionary leader to establish and maintain a high-quality Physician Assistant program at its Chicago campus.
National Louis University is embarking on an ambitious journey to build a cutting-edge healthcare professions portfolio, addressing critical healthcare disparities and the growing shortage of healthcare professionals. A key part of this mission is the launch of its Physician Assistant (PA) Program, a priority area given the PA's vital role in providing accessible, high-quality patient care. NLU recognizes that Physician Assistants are crucial in meeting the evolving needs of the healthcare system. Their ability to practice medicine across various specialties, coupled with a growing demand for healthcare services, makes the PA profession essential in bridging gaps in care, particularly in underserved communities. NLU is seeking an enterprising and visionary leader to serve as the Founding Program Director for this program. This is an extraordinary opportunity to build a transformative program from the ground up, develop an innovative curriculum, form strategic clinical partnerships, and attract a diverse student body. If you are passionate about shaping healthcare education and want to create a program that will have a lasting impact, we invite you to join NLU in this inspiring mission.
The Founding Program Director will assume the responsibility for the entirety of the developing Physician Assistant program. Duties include, but are not limited to, planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating the PA curriculum, policies, and procedures; working collaboratively with clinical partners to ensure ample and optimum clinical learning experiences for students; student advising and monitoring student progress and retention throughout the program; participating in program- and college-level committees; and ensuring that accreditation standards are met at all times. The Program Director will also lead the efforts in hiring, training, mentoring, and evaluating a dynamic team of faculty dedicated to ensuring the success of their students.
This role involves comprehensive program oversight, including student recruitment, curriculum development, faculty evaluation, and strategic planning. The Founding Program Director will work closely with faculty, academic affairs, and external healthcare entities to ensure the program meets accreditation standards and prepares students for successful careers as Physician Assistants. This position reports to the Provost and collaborates with various departments to support student and program success.
