The Med School Gets a Dean
by http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/07/12/harvard_medical_dean_is_named/ The Boston Globe and Harvard Crimson report that Drew Faust has chosen Jeffrey Flier to be the next dean of Harvard Medical School, replacing Joseph Martin.
According to the Globe...
Flier was selected after the head of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, Dr. Elizabeth Nabel, a cardiologist, withdrew as a finalist, two Harvard officials said, citing a desire to stay in Washington, where her husband works. Just as Faust is the first female president of Harvard, Nabel could have been the first female dean of the medical school.
The Crimson concurs, stating...
The search seemed to be nearing an end in late May, when Elizabeth G. Nabel, director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and reportedly a top candidate for the Medical School deanship, traveled to Cambridge for a series of search-related meetings. But several weeks after Nabel's under-the-radar visit, Faust named Barbara J. McNeil, a professor of health care policy, to lead the school on a temporary basis while Faust rushed to find a permanent leader.
