HJF is seeking a Senior Military Medical Advisor (SMMA) to serve as program lead for the clinical component of Creative Forces®: National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Military Healing Arts Network, a partnership between the NEA, the Veterans Health Administration (VA), and Department of War (DoW). This position serves a critical role in planning, organizing, evaluating, advising, and coordinating healthcare operations activities for Creative Forces, including identifying and developing opportunities for growth to new target populations.

This position will be in support of Creative Forces®: National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Military Healing Arts Network. The mission of the Creative Forces Network is to improve the health, wellbeing, and quality of life of trauma-exposed military service members and veterans, as well as their families and caregivers, by increasing knowledge of and access to clinical creative arts therapies and community-based arts programming. The SMMA plays a critical role in sustaining and growing activities within the current target population while testing and developing programs, as directed, for new target populations of interest to the NEA and partner organizations (such as Disaster Response, First Responders, Substance Abuse, Aging and Independent Living, and Pediatric Cancer). Core activities include standardizing clinical practice to ensure consistent delivery of high-quality care across the distributed Network, connecting to and supporting community arts engagement activities, and building and circulating evidence about the efficacy of creative arts therapies within the clinic to community continuum.
