<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">The Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine Library has a terrific opportunity open for a Senior Informationist position. As a newer medical school and, consequently,
an all-digital medical library, we are part of many innovative research projects, co-author scholarship, and instructors in the medical education, informatics, and biomedical sciences programs. The library's operation is small, yet mighty, and we have daily
access to senior leadership, faculty, residents and staff, and a front-row view of how a medical school works. We are co-instructors for the evidence-based longitudinal medicine track and teach in all four years of the medical education program. Our medical
student approval rating on the Independent Student Survey is 100%, and we're known for being the most helpful and nicest employees in the medical school. We are leaders, educators, advocates, and researchers in our school and community. We are a team of informationists
that support each other's dreams, ideas, experiments, and professional successes. We believe in each other, and our department offers a nurturing environment where anything is possible if you can build it. Review of applications begins immediately. If you’d
like to discuss the position in-person, I will be attending the ACRL 2019 meeting in Cleveland. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As one of the newer US medical schools, WMed is an exciting environment to pursue an academic career. The medical school is a collaboration of Western Michigan University
and Kalamazoo's two teaching hospitals, Ascension Borgess Health and Bronson Healthcare. The medical school is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation supported by private gifts, clinical revenues, research activities, tuition, and endowment income. WMed
is fully accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) and also by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The inaugural medical student class graduated in 2018 after completing an innovative, patient-centered four-year curriculum that prepares
them to be exceptional clinicians, leaders, educators, advocates, and researchers of tomorrow. There are more than 200 residents and fellows in ten residencies and three fellowships accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
WMed has Joint Accreditation for interprofessional continuing education, which incorporates accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). The School of Medicine Clinics are housed in a modern 60,000 square foot clinical
building on the Oakland Drive Campus and are accredited by The Joint Commission with recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Patient-Centered Medical Home. The 350,000 square foot educational building on the W.E. Upjohn M.D.
Campus located in downtown Kalamazoo underwent a $78 million renovation and expansion project including two laboratory research floors and a state-of-the-art Simulation Center that is accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare. The Innovation Center
on the Parkview Campus is a life science, technology, and engineering incubator serving the
