Dr. Archana Chatterjee joined Rosalind Franklin University in April 2020 and is Dean of the Chicago Medical School and Senior Vice President for Medical Affairs (the first woman and person of color to serve in these roles). For the previous 7 years, she served as Professor and Chair of the Department of Pediatrics (the first woman and person of color to serve as such) and Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Development at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine (USD SSOM). Prior to that, she was at Creighton University School of Medicine (CUSOM) where she advanced through the academic ranks to tenured Professor, served as the Division Chief for 6 years, and the Hospital Epidemiologist at the Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha, NEfor 13 years. During this time, she cared for children at four different hospitals in Omaha, conducted laboratory, clinical and community-based research and taught medical and other health professions students, pediatric residents, pediatric infectious diseases fellows and provided continuing education for colleagues across the country. She also spent nearly 12 years as a leader in Faculty Affairs/Faculty Development (FA/FD), initially at CUSOM, and later at USD SSOM.
Mentorship and sponsorship of faculty and learners has been a hallmark of Dr. Chatterjee's entire career in academic medicine. Through her tireless efforts at guiding, promoting and encouraging faculty and learners, she has impacted the careers of numerous leaders, faculty members, fellows, residents, and students, not only at her home institutions, but nationally and internationally. Another area of concentration for Dr. Chatterjee has been diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), particularly gender diversity and intersectionality. She has focused some of her scholarly effort on collaborative projects related to faculty and leadership development as well as DEI initiatives, participating in presentations at national conferences and publishing her work in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals.
