Within the leadership structure of most medical schools is a role for a faculty member who oversees the medical school curriculum. This person is usually called a “curriculum dean.” Depending on the size of the school and its resources, the role might include overseeing other deans or directors in charge of specific aspects of the curriculum; alternatively, it might be combined with other oversight duties under one leadership portfolio and a larger role. The variability of this role contributes to some of the mystique around it and how one becomes a curriculum dean. This chapter is intended to help demystify the curriculum dean role, starting with a brief discussion of the leadership structure in medical schools, followed by a framework in which to consider the activities of a curriculum dean, and then by an explication of typical pathways to the curriculum dean position. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how an individual (such as you!) starts preparing for a path toward becoming a curriculum dean, including incorporation of Latina/o/x/e, Hispanic, or of Spanish Origin+ (LHS+) lenses on this position and one’s own LHS+ work. This chapter is offered in the hopes that it will help especially those who might have an interest but who might not have considered the role of curriculum dean to see if it might be a fit for them and lower some of the barriers to taking on this exciting role in leadership in medical education.
