The Programs in Health Sector Management and Policy Advisory Board — two dozen high-level health care executives from across the U.S. — held its inaugural meeting at the School on December 11, 2008.
Dean Barbara E. Kahn opened the meeting with a presentation about the School’s strategic vision and goal of becoming globally preeminent in the business of health care. Other administrators and faculty members discussed the School’s development of academic, joint venture and co-branded programs in health care.
Steven G. Ullmann, director of Programs in Health Sector Management and Policy, then led the group through the activities envisioned for the School’s planned Center for Health Care Management and Policy, a first in the state of Florida. These activities include state policy research, training and education, and health care management consultation and research.
“The Advisory Board is made up of many of the top people in the field, in Florida and beyond, though much of the initial focus of the Center will be on our home state,” says Ullmann. “Their contributions will be invaluable because they bring a real-world, market-driven perspective. We look forward to their assistance in developing the Center, strengthening our ties with alumni and other professionals in the field, assuring that we are cutting-edge in our curriculum and serving as advocates for the School.”
Members of the Advisory Board, some of whom are School or UM alumni, include:
