He worked at the University of Trondheim, later the Norwegian University of Science and Technology after a merger.[3] He was awarded a research prize from the Norwegian Migraine Society in 1993, and received a Dr. Ragnar Forberg scholarship in 1995. He became chief physician and professor of neurology at NTNU's Faculty of Medicine in 1998, was vice dean from 1996 to 1998 and dean of the Faculty of Medicine from 1999 to 2005. He was also head of the medical technology strategic area at NTNU from 2000 to 2005.
At the time, some held him as a good candidate for rector, but Bovim rejected such a job offer twice.[4] In the period 2001–2003 he was also a board member of the Central Norway Regional Health Authority.[5] He took a position as the deputy managing director of St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim in 2005,[6] and became managing director in 2006.[3]
He started as the CEO of the Central Norway Regional Health Authority in 2009.[7] He accepted the position as rector at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in December 2012, and officially assumed the post on 1 August 2013.[8]
Bovim has been criticized and reprimanded by the Ministry of Knowledge for not being present in his job as Rector, and for pursuing too many appointments outside academia.[9]
He has also been criticized for his role in the "Eikrem-case" at NTNU.[10]
