"The Physician Leadership We Need"

transformation of health systems is to be successful.

Reception to follow

Dr. Nichols, Professor of Health Policy and Director of the Center for
Health Policy Research and Ethics, joined Mason in early 2010.  He plans to
continue the work began he began at the New America Foundation, bridging the
worlds of health economics and health services research for health system
stakeholders and clinical leaders, elected and appointed policy officials
and journalists. He founded and directed Health CEOs for Health Reform, a
group that was pivotal in helping policy makers see that delivery system
reform and health insurance reform are necessary and feasible complements.

Nichols has testified frequently before Congress and state legislatures,
published widely in a variety of health journals, and is a popular public
speaker on health policy and politics.  Before joining George Mason, Nichols
served as the Director of the Health Policy Program at the New America
Foundation, the vice president of the Center for Studying Health System
Change, a principal research associate at the Urban Institute, senior
advisor for health policy at the Office of Management and Budget during the
Clinton Administration's health reform effort, and chair of the Economics
Department at Wellesley College.  He has advised the World Bank and the Pan
American Health Organization, as well as various state governments and
departments of  the US Government.

Because of his reputation as an honest and knowledgeable health policy
analyst, he is frequently interviewed and quoted by major media outlets
including the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Wall
Street Journal, Congressional Quarterly, National Journal, National Public
Radio, Lerher News Hour, the British Broadcasting Service, NBC Nightly News,
ABC News Tonight, and CBS Evening News. He received his Ph.D. from the
University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1980.

 

About the Lecture Series: Charles W. Bodemer was founder and chair of the
Department of Biomedical History (now the Department of Bioethics &
Humanities) from 1967-1985. Trained in anatomy, Dr. Bodemer had a
distinguished career as a research scientist before dedicating his energies
to his other love: the history of medicine. A prolific writer and dynamic
teacher in that field, he used his understanding of medicine's evolution to
provide the UW School of Medicine-students and faculty alike-with a deeper
appreciation of the human and social dimension of medical practice. Open to
the community, the Bodemer Lecture honors his groundbreaking labors in the
development of medical history and ethics at the University of Washington.
This annual lecture covers topics in the areas of medical ethics and medical
history.
