Geriatrics Clinician and Skilled Nursing Facility Physician

The Division of Geriatrics & Gerontology, Department of Medicine, UW School of Medicine and Public Health is seeking applicants for a full-time clinical assistant or associate professor on the Clinician Teacher (CT) or Clinical Health Sciences (CHS) track. The successful candidate will join a world-class institution that encourages, values and supports interdisciplinary basic, clinical and population health research, and attracts scholars and students from around the world.

The faculty member will provide primary care in the ambulatory and skilled nursing facility setting. Primary care is provided to older adult patients in one or more outpatient UW Health geriatric clinics working with a geriatric clinical care team including other providers. The faculty member will also provide primary care visits at various skilled nursing facilities. The candidate will provide clinical teaching to medical students, residents, and fellows.

Madison is the state's capital city with a population of over 252,000, and offers an ideal combination of natural beauty, stimulating cultural events, outstanding schools and outdoor recreation.

Position responsibilities for patient care include predominantly ambulatory primary care with some skilled facility care for older adult patients at UW Health approved locations. Responsibilities will also include clinical teaching of medical students, residents and fellows, and other service appropriate to the position.

* Collaborate with faculty and staff in the development of new patient care programs with a focus on access to care and interdisciplinary teamwork

Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) (20-40%)
