Team Leader-Medicine (AMPATH)

Position Summary

The Organization: Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) Ghana is one partnership within AMPATH Global, a network of universities and academic health centers that collaborate with public sector health systems to ensure essential and equitable health for all people. AMPATH originated with AMPATH Kenya over 30 years ago as a partnership between medical schools at Indiana University in the U.S. and Moi University in Kenya. The AMPATH Consortium has developed and inspired future leaders in healthcare in both North America and Africa, and produced hundreds of published articles—all while successfully responding to healthcare needs in homes, communities, and clinical facilities in western Kenya. NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Section for Global Health leads the AMPATH Consortium of academic health centers in the AMPATH Ghana partnership with the University for Development Studies School of Medicine (UDS-SoM), Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), and other affiliated institutions in Ghana. AMPATH Ghana leverages the experience of AMPATH Kenya, builds on the strengths of Ghana’s existing healthcare system, and serves as a resource to Ghana’s health and education leaders. This partnership works towards mutually beneficial outcomes for all partners—improving the health and well-being of people in communities in and around Tamale, Ghana; educating tomorrow’s medical experts worldwide; and jointly researching breakthroughs that will inform improvements in population health around the world. This position provides clinician-educators and clinician-researchers trained in Family Medicine the opportunity to contribute to AMPATH Ghana’s tripartite academic mission of care, education and research, with focused attention on meeting the academic goals of this global health collaboration. This is a unique position within the global health space for those interested in broadening their clinical skills, while pursuing initiatives in partnership with Ghanaian colleagues that aim to reduce health care inequities faced by people in the northern part of Ghana and, more broadly, in low- and middle-income countries. The individual will be granted a faculty appointment in the Department of Population Health, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, with an adjunct appointment at UDS-SoM, in Tamale, Ghana.
