DOM Fireside Chat with Christine Cassel

In 2017, DOM launched a new series — Fireside Chats. These events consist of DOM Chair Bob Wachter interviewing a prominent UCSF faculty member (or visiting professor) about her/his life in medicine.

Dr. Cassel is an internationally recognized leader in health policy and medical ethics. She has served as CEO of the National Quality Forum and the ABIM, dean at OHSU’s School of Medicine, and, most recently, planning dean for Kaiser Permanente’s new medical school.
