The executive search team handles all Vice Dean and Department Chair searches for the David Geffen School of Medicine, in addition to an array of other senior-level recruitments.  The team takes on a finite number of leadership positions per year, assigned by senior leadership, however they are available for consultation and can help provide templates, answers questions, or share recruitment expertise for other senior level recruitments.
If you need support with a recruitment or access to additional resources (sample questions, rubrics, interview guides, outreach tactics, etc.), please contact the team.
