About The Position

Student and Campus Life (SCL) inspires transformation in all Cornell students on their journey of individual, academic and personal evolution. Our division is comprised of leading student affairs experts who support our campus on pressing student life matters including public service, health, wellbeing, connection and belonging, residential living, food services, sports, recreation, career services, and student activities and organizations including sorority and fraternity life. We provide support and services to roughly 25,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students on multiple campuses in the U.S. and abroad. Cornell Health's more than 200 employees collaborate to provide integrated and culturally-sensitive mental health, medical, health promotion, public health, student accommodations, and occupational medicine care and services. Dually focused on holistic health of Cornell students and well-being of the larger campus community, the unit supports readiness to learn, to participate fully in the Cornell experience, and to achieve academic, work, and life success. Cornell Health is nationally recognized for innovation and leadership, and is committed to an ongoing journey toward integrated, cost-effective, and community-based services and campus health initiatives. Cornell Health’s Medical Services is a collaborative, vibrant, innovative, inter-professional department which provides holistic clinical care to address students’ biopsychosocial needs. Working collaboratively with other Cornell Health departments, medical staff aspire to a data-driven approach to provide high-quality, accessible, cost-effective, culturally-sensitive, and developmentally-appropriate care and services to Cornell’s student population, meeting the routine and urgent needs of patients. Medical Clinicians (MD/DO or APP) at Cornell Health provide direct ambulatory primary patient care to students of the university and arrange for comprehensive care for a patient's holistic needs - including their medical, mental health, emotional and social issues. Medical clinicians collaborate with community and other Cornell Health colleagues, health associates, nursing staff, ancillary and support staff, mental health professionals, physical therapists and health educators to provide comprehensive care to students as patients. In their clinical work with students, Medical Clinicians are involved with the developmental, educational, emotional, psychological, social and academic aspects of students’ lives, and often are called upon to interact with parents, faculty and other professionals, both on and off campus.
