Dr. John V. Marymont, vice president for medical affairs and dean of the College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama, was appointed to the Jones Health Care Advisory Board at Rice University’s Jones Graduate School of Business and as the Council of Deans Liaison to the Association of American Medical Colleges’ (AAMC) Group on Business Affairs (GBA).
According to Dr. Marymont, both appointments provide the opportunity to contribute to programs that play a significant role in the health care and medical education fields while providing the opportunity to build relationships with business, health care and educational leaders from across the country.
“It’s an honor to represent the University of South Alabama on a national level and to work with leaders at the AAMC and at Rice University,” Dr. Marymont said. “Both of these appointments not only provide an opportunity to give insight and advice, but also to learn and to incorporate new ideas, best practices and programs at USA.”
The Jones Health Care Advisory Board at Rice University comprises a group of national leaders from different sectors of the health care industry that advise and interact with different constituents at the Jones Graduate School of Business. Dr. Marymont is a graduate from the Jones School of Business with the highest distinction of a “Jones Scholar.”
The AAMC’s GBA is an active group comprised of senior finance and administration leaders at medical schools, as well as department business managers and other dean’s office staff involved in medical school operations.
