Chairman and Distinguished University Professor

Within the MUSC Department of Medicine we have expanded the traditional tripartite mission of academic medicine to include the Business of Medicine. In addition, the MUSC Excellence initiative has been woven into the fabric of everything we are doing in the Department of Medicine. At a time when the status quo might be considered acceptable, our Department’s clinical revenue continues to rise, our number of grant applications have increased, new and innovative educational programs are being implemented and everyone is truly working together to accomplish great things!
