Dr. Carrie L. Byington starts on October 31 as executive vice president and head of UC Health. As she kicks off her work, she took time out in this video to share her perspective on joining a recognized leader in medical education, patient care and research.
Dr. Byington brings a deep commitment to some of the toughest issues in health care today, including increasing access to care — especially for vulnerable populations — and working to eliminate health disparities. She looks forward to leading UC Health in driving meaningful transformation to health care in California. Dr. Byington will also be returning as a faculty member at UC San Francisco, where she previously trained through a Fellowship in pediatric infectious diseases.
