Ohio State University has started the search for a replacement for Dr. Fred Sanfilippo, the former head of OSU Medical Center who left for Emory University over the summer.
The school hired the Chicago-based executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles International Inc. No timeline has been set for the search, spokeswoman Shelly Hoffman said. The search firm is to develop the job description and recruit candidates.
OSU President Gordon Gee told staff he would personally guide the search for a new senior vice president for health sciences, who heads both the hospital system and medical school.
"I am deeply committed to the Medical Center's success as we continue to forge one university," Gee said in a memo distributed Monday.
The health system has a $1.5 billion budget and more than 13,000 employees, and the College of Medicine is ranked 31st in the country by U.S. News and World Report.
Sanfilippo, who started in 2000, led a financial turnaround for the hospital system and more than doubled biomedical research funding. University officials are planning a nearly $1 billion expansion of the medical center, a project that has been delayed for a review of its scope and financial assumptions.

The only reason he's not with OSU anymore is because Mrs. Wexner did not want him partnering with Children's and the big OSU donors didn't like the way he went about things after he turned things around, pahfoewy!
