Making Change: Alumni are Forging the Future of Biotech and the Business of Health Care
Look at almost any arena within the world of medicine, science, and health care across the nation and beyond, and you will find individuals serving as leaders who learned and trained at Duke University School of Medicine. For more than 90 years, the School of Medicine has been one of the nation’s premier health professions training grounds not only for outstanding physicians and researchers, but for leaders and innovators.
Duke alumni are leading change and discovery as clinicians caring for patients, as researchers making the discoveries that transform knowledge and improve health, and as policymakers and innovators at the cutting edge of health care discovery, delivery, and biotechnology.
As national and international leaders, School of Medicine alumni are creating new models for increasing access and equity in health care delivery, developing cutting-edge therapies for devastating diseases, using artificial intelligence to craft solutions to vexing challenges, and leading efforts to realize the promise of biotechnology to improve health.
“Science, medicine, and health care are evolving very rapidly, and the world needs exceptional leaders with the vision and expertise to anticipate change and drive innovation,” said School of Medicine Dean Mary E. Klotman, B.S.’76, M.D.’80, HS’85. “I am proud to say that many of these leaders were educated and trained at Duke in the School of Medicine.”
