NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dr. Consuelo H. Wilkins, MD, MCSI and 15 other members have been appointed to a new faculty task force created to prioritize and refine the eight health-related initiatives in the Academic Strategic Plan and to inventory existing health-related interdisciplinary centers and institutes at Vanderbilt.
Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs Jeff Balser and Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Susan Wente approved the creation of the new Health Care Solutions Task Force and appointed Associate Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs Bonnie Miller as its chair. The task force comprises 16 faculty that represent a broad spectrum of health-related expertise and scholarships from across the university and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
“One of the primary sources of our strength at Vanderbilt is the research and collaboration that occurs at the intersection of health care and multiple other disciplines,” Miller said. “The findings of this task force will allow us to leverage existing strengths, identify new opportunities for collaboration and move forward in strategic ways to continue and expand Vanderbilt’s impact on health.”
