What does a Project Analyst II do?

The Brigham and Women's Hospital Department of Medicine (DOM) is a Harvard Medical School (HMS)-affiliated academic department comprised of >1,400 faculty, 22 divisions, ~$400 million in annual professional clinical gross revenue, >350 residents and fellows, and ~$450 million in annual research expenditures. The DOM is the largest academic department at BWH and among the largest in the country.

The Project Analyst II will partner closely with the Department of Medicine (DOM) Vice Chair for Medical Education; Senior Director, Academic Affairs; Director, Education Administration; Residency Program Director; Student Education Director; and Director for Continuing Medical Education, and other clinical leaders toward the achievement of the initiatives and goals of the DOM Education Office. Responsibilities include a broad range of analytical, operational, and financial activities that will help support BWH and DOM in its efforts to successfully train future doctors while maintaining high caliber education programs in a fiscally responsible and accreditation compliant environment.

DOM utilizes a co-reporting structure to allow its Project Analysts to develop content expertise in a subject matter area while also leveraging a peer group of analysts. The Project Analyst co-reports to the DOM Director of Education Administration and the DOM Director of Analysis and Planning. The DOM Project Analysts are the primary administrative and financial resource for education program development (analysis, planning, and evaluation), review (assessment, performance improvement, and support), and financial management within the DOM. While primarily focused on the financial support of the DOM's education programs, the Project Analyst will also collaborate with other leaders in DOM to work on initiatives outside of both finance and education.
