Reporting to the President of the University of California, the Executive Vice President (EVP) maintains collaborative relationships with the President’s Cabinet, Chancellors, the Vice President for Research & Innovation, Vice Chancellors of Health, Academic Medical Center CEOs, the Academic Senate and health professions Deans.

Under the EVP, the UC Health Division in the UC Office of the President focuses on four priorities: positioning UC as a partner to the State to realize health improvement goals, facilitating collaborative investments that increase fiscal resilience of each of the health campuses, advancing distinction and excellence through collective action, and increasing access to health services in regions that have been underserved.  The EVP achieves these objectives by providing policy leadership, fostering systemwide collaboration, and catalyzing innovation across the health campuses. 

This is a highly visible, interactive, and inclusive position that requires direct and continuous interaction with leadership of all components of the University of California.
