Indiana University Bloomington (IU) is seeking an experienced and forward-thinking clinician and administrative leader to serve as the next Medical Director for the Student Health Center—a busy ambulatory care operation supporting the health, wellbeing, and success of a community of over 47,000 students through a wide variety of medical services.
