Our faculty are leaders in Roswell Park's quality and safety initiatives and support Roswell Park's status as a high reliability organization.


The Chair will build and enhance Roswell Park's national reputation in key sub-specialties, support the growth of patient volumes through clinical efficiency and partnerships, and improve evidence-based quality care metrics. The Chair will have leadership in ensuring continued education of DoIM faculty and clinical trainees, and will oversee faculty development with an emphasis on mentorship of junior faculty. DoIM faculty support clinical research growth by providing expert care to patients on research protocols and, when appropriate, serving as co-investigators on clinical research protocols. The Chair is expected to have a leadership role in developing and expanding on these research collaborations. The Chair will report to the Physician-in-Chief.


Qualifications of the Chair include a record of outstanding clinical care and demonstrated leadership in education and faculty development and mentorship. Candidates should have expertise in cancer-focused care either as an internal medicine generalist or specialist. Candidates should have a scholarly track record appropriate for appointment at the level of Professor at Roswell Park.
