The National Clinician Scholars Program (NCSP) at IHPI seeks a co-director to serve as part of the top leadership team for this premier healthcare research and policy training program that operates in collaboration with five other leading universities (Duke, Penn, UCLA, UCSF, and Yale). The program aims to train nurse and physician scholars who will become change agents and leaders both inside and outside of academia, and whose careers help advance health equity, invent new models of care, and improve the efficiency and quality of health care.

An exercise platform first designed to get kids moving in the classroom and led by Rebecca Hasson, Ph.D., associate professor of kinesiology, has transformed since the pandemic to reach communities across the state of Michigan. Interrupting Prolonged Sitting with Activity (InPACT), a fitness program developed by U-M with state and national partners, received $1 million in COVID-19 CARES funds and solidified a partnership with PBS Michigan Learning Channel to air exercise videos on television beginning in January 2021.

A new study, led by Renuka Tipirneni, M.D., M.Sc., assistant professor of internal medicine, and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, showed that patients from more socially vulnerable areas were sicker when they got to hospitals, but did just as well by the time they left—suggesting the importance of early and equal access to care.
