The University of Massachusetts Medical School Chancellor Search

The University of Massachusetts is conducting a national search to select a permanent Chancellor for the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

One of the fastest growing academic health centers in the country, UMass Medical School has built a reputation as a world-class research institution, consistently producing noteworthy advances in clinical and basic research. The Medical School attracts more than $189 million in research funding annually, 80 percent of which comes from federal funding sources. UMMS is the academic partner of UMass Memorial Health Care, the largest health care provider in Central Massachusetts.

The University is seeking a permanent successor to former Chancellor Aaron Lazare, who stepped down as Chancellor in 2007. He continues to serve as the Celia and Isaac Haidak Professor in Medical Education and professor of psychiatry at the Medical School.

"The University of Massachusetts Medical School is one of the great medical schools in the world," said University of Massachusetts President Jack M. Wilson. "I am confident that this search will culminate with the selection of an outstanding leader who will be able to build on the successes of the past and help to usher UMass Medical School into a new era of accomplishment and greatness."

University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees Chairman Robert J. Manning said: "The University is very fortunate to have been able to assemble a committee that brings together the skill, experience and expertise needed to bring this search to a very successful conclusion."
