Over the course of sixteen months, I worked closely with the academic senate to lead the institution from the brink of closure to fiscal insolvency and from probation to full accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleg es (WASC). I returned to my role as EVP for Research and Health Affairs to continue to genera te significant and needed research funds for sustaining the university. I was formally recogniz ed for my institutional contributions on Dec 6, 2011 by the CDU Board of Trustees by the c onferring of an Outstanding Service Award for exemplary leadership during a time of administrati

ve and financial crisis. As interim president at CDU I created the first Provost Office to strengthen the universitys scholarly and research environment, and to coordinate all academic activities. T his action was pivotal in leading CDU from probation to full accreditation by the Western Assoc iation of Schools and Colleges. Health Sciences Academic and Clinical Program Leadership Fulfilling my personal desire to teach and serve at a minority institution, I jo ined the CDU faculty in 1990 in my first administrative role as program director for the Department o f Internal Medicine Residency Program, the largest Residency Program at the MLK, Jr. Hospit al, then a 350 bed Hospital with a $400,000,000 annual budget. The program was on probation and at risk of closure. My team and I worked collaboratively with the hospital administratio n to restore full accreditation. I then served for the next five years as Vice Chair of the Depart ment of Internal Medicine and two years as Interim Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine. I also served for two years as the President of the Hospital Professional Staff Association, w orking with the hospital Medical Director and CEO, and the Los Angeles County Director of Health Services to guide and implement key accreditation, policy and management decisions for optim izing training and clinical care systems for over 600 residents, fellows and faculty. My standi ng as an internationally recognized health policy leader has provided me the forum to hel p shape national health policy and practice guidelines, ensuring our academic and clinical progra ms are on the cusp of health care and health policy innovations. Key Administrative Research Experiences and Accomplishments I have five years experience as an Associate Dean for Research in the College of Medicine, two years experience as Vice President for Research, and since 2006 have served as t he executive vice president for research and health affairs at CDU, and assistant dean for cl inical and translational science at the Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA. I have been succes sful in leading a three-fold increase in annual university NIH research funding, establishing a high performing research reputation for CDU, now ranking in the top 50 private research universi ties, as rated by the 2006-11 Center for Measuring University Performance reports. 20 Certified Research Training: CITI Collaborative Institutional Training Initiativ e Exam ID Module Completed 1416 About the Course 1363 Audits and Inspections in Clinical Trials 2 Basic Institutional Review Board (IRB) Regulations and Review Process 1127 Belmont Report and CITI Course Introduction 13398 Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science Courses
