Three RWJF Clinical Scholars Alumni Reflect on Their Path to Becoming University Deans

At a time when physician training did not focus far beyond individual patient care, the Clinical Scholars program set out to break new ground in physician leadership. That was in 1972. Today, more than 1100 Clinical Scholar alumni are having an impact in every corner of health and health care. Among these exceptional alumni are three university deans who provide the strategic leadership and insight at some of the top schools for health education in the United States.
