U-M Looks To Appoint Runge As New Executive VP Of Health System
ANN ARBOR (WWJ) — University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel announced Monday that he will recommend the appointment of Dr. Marschall Runge to become the university's executive vice president for medical affairs on March 1, pending approval by the Board of Regents in December.
Runge is the executive dean for the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina, where he has been a faculty member since 2000. He also is chair of the Department of Medicine.
"Dr. Runge has significant experience and success in multiple aspects of health care and academic health sciences," Schlissel said. "His accomplishments as a scientist, physician and leader are ideally suited to advance the UMHS tripartite mission of clinical care, education and research."
As executive dean at UNC, Runge assists the medical school dean and health system CEO in providing overall academic and clinical leadership for the School of Medicine and the UNC Health Care System. He works in close partnership with the president of UNC Hospitals and the president of the UNC faculty practice plan and other university leaders.
