Oregon Health & Science University is conducting a search to appoint the next Division Head of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

The Department of Medicine seeks an inspirational, driven Division Head of Gastroenterology and Hepatology to lead and grow a storied Division. Gastroenterology and Hepatology faculty are nationally recognized leaders in education, research, and clinical care.
