This pivotal role offers the opportunity to shape the future of medical education within one of the nation's most innovative, mission-driven institutions. Fully integrated within Kaiser Permanente—the largest nonprofit health system in the U.S.—KPSOM is redefining physician training through a forward-looking curriculum grounded in health systems science, health equity, and early clinical immersion. The Associate Dean will report to the Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education and lead a comprehensive, data-driven approach to assessing student performance and evaluating faculty effectiveness and curricular outcomes.

The Associate Dean will oversee all aspects of assessment and evaluation across the M.D. program, advancing a robust competency-based medical education framework while building the infrastructure to support continuous quality improvement.
