I, for one, appreciate the humor and charm of your post. I'm originally from a small island in the Hudson River: Manhattan ...which is not in Kansas....the island, that is. Lovely post...good luck with the recruitment.

We are now recruiting a key informatics leadership position, a Chief Research Informatics Officer, to lead our campus in realize informatics and EHRs potential for transforming research and realizing a learning health system; building upon our CTSA and Greater Plains Collaborative PCORnet efforts and an established Epic implementation (live since 2007): http://www.kumc.edu/ea-mi.html http://www.gpcnetwork.org/ https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org http://informatics.kumc.edu<http://informatics.kumc.edu/> I’ve posted the position below which has the detailed job description and link. Please email me if you or you know of an individual who may be interested in joining us. I’ll also be at AMIA CRI this month in San Francisco so I can catch up with people in person. The campus has really embraced informatics and enterprise analytics capabilities and we’ve developed a strong team and partnership with the hospital and clinics. We’re now really poised to have someone come in and lead our team (adding three more positions) so we can develop and deploy interventional informatics in the clinical and financial workflows to realize our full potential. I would just add in addition to the professional reasons to come to Kansas City… - It’s a really nice size city with good dining/entertainment/cultural options. There’s more than BBQ though that in and of itself is pretty amazing. These places are close to our offices: http://www.nelson-atkins.org/art/exhibitions/ http://q39kc.com/about/ http://www.joeskc.com/ - Cost of living is very nice and traffic is decidedly better than other places I’ve lived and visited. Go to Zillow and compare housing. Gas was $1.19 South of town over Valentine’s Day weekend. If you are tired on long commutes, being house poor, but don’t depend on daily inspiration from the sound of the ocean or gazing at a mountain, KC may be for you. We’ll buy you a nice photo, an ocean noise maker, and a big crystal if that helps. - With the different city and counties that come together around the medical center (at 39th St and State Line Road), you get an interesting mix of good school options, old historic houses, modern suburbs, downtown lofts all within an easy commute of the campus. I live a mile away and walk to work. You want to live with like-minded Blue or Red people? No problem. Want to see first run Hindi movies like Neeja? AMC theatres (based here) has you covered. http://www.fandango.com/amcstudio28withdineintheatres_aaecq/theaterpage - The KUMC campus is nice and compact so it’s easy to run into most everyone and go out to lunch nearby. - We get all four seasons here and while we do get cold, we also get nice warm pushes of weather from the south in the winter (was in the 70s here Saturday). - Did I mention we won the World Series?
