UI Health Distinguished Scholar Series

Introduction
The UI Health Distinguished Scholar Series (DSS) was launched in 2020 and has grown to include a collaboration among the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, Chief Quality Officer, and Chief Diversity and Community Health Equity Officer. The UI Health Distinguished Scholar Series provides an opportunity to learn from nationally recognized healthcare leaders: how they think, why they pursue their vision, and how to apply their insights to improve health.
