There was a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment
coming from the Jefferson School of Population Health the morning of November 8,
when the Philadelphia Business Journal
named the school its Medical Education Innovator of the Year as part of its annual
Health Care Innovation Awards.
In a story about the awards on the PBJ Web site, JSPH was
specifically lauded for our master’s programs in Healthcare Quality and Safety,
and Healthcare Quality and Safety Management. According to the article, JSPH
Dean David B. Nash “has helped craft a series of new patient safety educational
offerings available to students from all sides of the health profession –
ranging from clinical practice to administration, to policy – and at all career
stages, including doctors and executives.”
JSPH was especially honored to be recognized alongside
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital President David McQuaid, who was lauded as Emerging Executive of the Year. Said the PBJ: “During five years spent as chief
operating officer, David McQuaid applied his decades of health-care industry
experience toward advancing two of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s most
vital goals: service excellence and collaboration. The result has been the
hospital’s continued expansion in clinical programs and market share – and
McQuaid’s promotion to president on July 1.”
In a city such as Philadelphia, where health care plays such
a prominent role in the economy and the day-to-day lives of its citizens, the
Jefferson School of Population Health is proud to be recognized as a leader and
innovator in preparing the health care leaders of tomorrow for their roles in
service to the community.
