Position Summary

The Primary Care Research Institute (PCRI) at the University at Buffalos Department of Family Medicine is seeking a Director for the Statewide New York State Area Health Education Center (NYSAHEC) System.

At the direction of the Principal Investigator for the NYSAHEC System program, this position is responsible for the overall management and strategic guidance of the New York State Area Health Education Center (NYS AHEC) System, a statewide publicly funded health workforce development initiative. Founded in 1998, the NYS AHEC System is comprised of nine centers (all independent 501c3 organizations with governing boards of directors), two regional offices and a Statewide Office. Its mission is to address the ongoing healthcare workforce shortage by recruiting and training individuals of all races and ethnicities, with a special emphasis on medically underserved areas in both rural and urban communities.

As the Statewide AHEC Director, this position is essential for facilitating positive, inclusive working relationships across the state. In concert with the local AHECs and regional offices, this position will advance the strategic aims of the network and effectively evaluate the impact and reach of the grant-funded programs. Moreover, the Statewide Office serves as the administrative office of the network and thus is tasked with ensuring funder compliance across program initiatives and fiscal operations. Lastly, this position will be instrumental in supporting the ongoing sustainability and advocacy efforts of the network at large, supporting enhanced collaborations with a wide range of partners to advance program efforts and public policy.

Responsibilities include:
  • Develop and execute a comprehensive and collaborative AHEC strategic plan aligned with community, regional, state, and federal health needs, emphasizing priority areas related to workforce development and training.
  • In concert with the nine local AHECs and the regional offices, support the effective implementation of quality health workforce programming including but not limited to career exposure activities, rotations and internship placements, continuing education, and community outreach initiatives.
  • Cultivate innovative systemwide program development that is responsive to the health workforce needs of the state and respective AHEC regions.
  • Develop and manage the Statewide AHEC budget across multiple funding streams, ensuring responsible allocation of funds across program activities and upholding the highest level of fiscal accountability.
  • Lead a comprehensive assessment of programmatic deliverables across multiple projects in collaboration with local centers and regional offices to inform decision-making, identify trends, improve programs, demonstrate impact, and advance initiatives.
