Professor of Radiology Robert I. Grossman, M.D., has been appointed the 15th Dean of the NYU School of Medicine. He has also been named CEO of NYU Hospitals Center. Dr. Grossman will assume the Dean and CEO positions effective July 1, 2007.
Dr. Grossman is currently the Louis Marx Professor of Radiology, the Chairman of the Department of Radiology, and a Professor of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Physiology and Neuroscience at the NYU School of Medicine. He has been at NYU since 2001. His appointments as Dean/CEO of NYU School of Medicine/NYU Hospitals Center came as a result of a nationwide search – involving representatives of the faculty, trustees, fellows, students, and deans – for a successor to Dr. Robert Glickman, who has served as Dean and CEO since 1998. Dr. Glickman will continue as a Professor of Medicine at NYU and will practice gastroenterology at the Manhattan VA following a sabbatical.
Martin Lipton, Chair of the NYU Board of Trustees, said, "NYU Medical Center is justly viewed as one of the most prestigious and esteemed institutions of academic medicine in the nation. Its Dean/CEO, therefore, must be more than an excellent physician, an innovative researcher, or an outstanding manager, but an inspired and inspiring leader in the field of academic medicine, someone who can envision its course for decades to come. In Bob Grossman, we have found not only a person with such vision, but also an individual with an intimate knowledge of our medical center, its strengths and challenges. On behalf of the entire NYU community, I would like to thank the members of the search committee, offer my congratulations to Bob, tell him how pleased we are that he is taking on this assignment, and let him know how confident he has made us about the Medical Center’s future."
NYU President John Sexton said, "Bob Grossman’s selection as the 15th Dean signals the next phase of our development of the NYU Medical Center and exemplifies our efforts at the School of Medicine these last nine years. When Bob Glickman took the reins in 1998, his priority was reinvigorating the NYU Medical Center through the recruitment of the top talent in academic medicine to add to our extraordinarily accomplished and dedicated existing faculty, thereby building the next generation of leadership. Bringing Bob Grossman to NYU was considered one of his most discerning and impressive achievements. The NYU Medical Center is now harvesting the fruits of Bob Glickman’s generational strategy – we are proudly able to turn to a colleague, scholar, and physician of outstanding talent and repute to advance further the exciting and important effort begun by Bob Glickman."
"I would like to thank the members of the search committee, and especially its chair, Dr. Joseph Zuckerman; their good judgment is made obvious by the excellent choice of Bob Grossman. And I would like to thank Bob Glickman for his devoted and outstanding service as Dean; especially for ensuring that – as has always been the case – there is a foundation of excellent faculty who will ensure that the NYU School of Medicine and NYU Hospitals Center will continue to enjoy a reputation as a top academic medical center."
Kenneth Langone, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the NYU Hospitals Center and the NYU School of Medicine, said, "We are about to step into a new era at the NYU Medical Center. The last nine years have been characterized by building on the existing superb faculty with the addition of new, outstanding colleagues, and the creation of important new corresponding facilities, such as the Smilow Research Building and our Clinical Cancer Center. The next few years will be focused not only on continuing the advancement of the faculty, but also on additional physical and capital development of the Medical Center, especially the clinical facilities, such as Tisch Hospital, and on optimizing the NYU physician model – the diverse and dynamic mix of faculty practice and voluntary physicians that yield such excellent care. This is a major challenge, requiring a person of proven vision, leadership, devotion, and persistence. Bob Grossman is the right person for this position."
Robert Berne, NYU’s Senior Vice President for Health, said, "We are at a pivotal point in our history as a Medical Center. The foundation has been laid through the building of the faculty that has taken place over the last few years, through the presence of dedicated and excellent personnel, through the construction of facilities that propelled our research and clinical efforts, and through renewed strength of our partnership with Bellevue Hospital and the Manhattan VA Medical Center. All that is needed is the right person to take that opportunity and do something spectacular as the successor to Bob Glickman, and Bob Grossman emerged through the search process as the most outstanding choice. I have worked with Bob a great deal on the extraordinary strides that have propelled NYU to the forefront in the area of imaging, and I have the utmost respect for him as physician, researcher, faculty colleague, manager, and leader."
Dr. Robert Glickman, Dean of the NYU School of Medicine and CEO of the NYU Hospitals Center, said, "In the heart of the greatest city in the world, NYU has drawn together the finest physicians, researchers, house officers, students, and administrators to create an inspiring academic medical center. It has been a privilege to serve as Dean and CEO as we set the standards for academic medicine in the 21st century. I applaud the choice of Bob Grossman, a wonderful colleague in whose leadership NYU has deservedly and wisely placed its trust. He has done great things already with the Department of Radiology; he will do more as Dean and CEO."
Dr. Robert Grossman said, "Since coming to NYU in 2001, I have been privileged to collaborate with the most highly talented and caring clinicians and scientists, all of whom are committed to NYU’s strong culture of integrity and pride. This is a crucial time in academic medicine, and I am honored to be entrusted with the opportunity to build on the extraordinary strengths of this Medical Center, and to encourage, in every way I can, the full expression of all the talent that is here."
Dr. Grossman was awarded the Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1999 for his work on multiple sclerosis. He was a member (1995-2000) and Chairman (1997-2000) of the Diagnostic Radiology Study Section at NIH, was appointed to the NIH’s National Advisory Council for Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (2003-2007), and is currently the principal investigator of two NIH-funded research grants. In 2004, he became the first recipient of the American Society of Neuroradiology Education and Research Foundation’s annual Outstanding Contributions in Research Award in recognition of lifelong accomplishment and consistent excellence in clinical neuroscience. He is currently President of the American Society of Neuroradiology, a fellow of the American College of Radiology, and a fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
Alongside his award-winning research, Dr. Grossman has been a passionate educator and widely published scholar. He has trained over 100 fellows, many of whom occupy prominent positions world-wide, and authored over 300 publications and four books, including Neuroradiology: The Requisites, a best-selling textbook (over 35,000 copies sold) in neuroradiology. He is Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Neuroradiology and serves on the editorial boards of several scientific journals.
Dr. Grossman received his B.S. in biology, Phi Beta Kappa, from Tulane University, and his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1973, where he was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha. He completed his internship at the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston in 1973, a residency in neurosurgery from 1974 to 1977 at the University of Pennsylvania, a radiology residency at the University of Pennsylvania in 1979, and a two-year fellowship in neuroradiology at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He is board-certified in radiology and neuroradiology.
