What is the status of the dean search?
A national search for the founding dean of the School of Medicine was launched in October 2008. A search committee is comprised of representatives from the UCR faculty, students and staff; other University of California medical schools; and the community. Chancellor Timothy P. White co-chairs the committee with Phyllis A. Guze, executive director of medical school planning. Recruitment of the founding dean is expected to take between nine and 12 months.
