Director of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Description<\/span><\/h2>\n

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), Arkansas Children\u2019s Hospital (ACH), and the UAMS Psychiatric Research Institute (PRI) are seeking an innovative, strategic leader to be the Director of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry<\/strong><\/span>. This position offers the opportunity to lead our well-established Division (est.1955), its innovative clinical programs, and its well-staffed faculty into the future. This includes serving the needs of the children and families of Arkansas, supporting a large, dynamic tertiary-care children\u2019s hospital system composed of two hospitals, and a state-wide Clinically Integrated Pediatric Network. We are looking for a Director to develop and extend significant research programs at both PRI and the Arkansas Children\u2019s Hospital Research Institute. The Director will participate in and lead the child and adolescent portion of an exceptionally strong psychiatry education program that is one of the leading undergraduate and graduate medical education programs in the region. Additionally, he\/she will help develop and advance our nationally recognized digital health program and be a leader within UAMS\u2019 PRI, which is prized by our state and sponsoring institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

POSITION SUMMARY<\/u><\/strong>:<\/h4>\n

The new leader will be board-certified in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, have significant leadership skills, and excel in at least two (2) of the areas of our three-fold mission: clinical care, education, and research. The Director will also work effectively with leadership of ACH and UAMS. She\/he will lead a dynamic young faculty of six (6) physicians based primarily in the Division and another six (6) child and adolescent psychiatrists who are primarily based elsewhere across the Department. These numbers will likely double over the next 3-5 years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
