Jamie P. Dwyer MD

Summary

• I am a physician-scientist, health-system leader, clinical trialist, and academic innovator working at the intersection of medicine, research, education, and healthcare delivery.
  
  I am Dean of the Kay and C. Edward Floyd, M.D. School of Medicine at the University of South Carolina, where I am focused on advancing the school's missions in education, research, clinical care, and service while strengthening its partnership with health systems. The future of academic medicine depends on bringing these missions together rather than treating them as separate enterprises.
  
  Previously, I served as Executive Associate Vice President for Research and Chief Innovation Officer at the University of Utah, where I led university-wide innovation strategy, commercialization, entrepreneurship and venture creation, and industry partnerships. I also led the Utah Data Coordinating Center, a large academic research organization supporting complex, multisite clinical research.
  
  My academic work centers on nephrology, hypertension, and cardiorenal-metabolic disease, particularly the design, conduct, and analysis of large-scale RCTs. I have led and advised multinational trials, served on FDA advisory committees, evaluated renal safety signals in clinical development programs, and worked extensively in protocol design, endpoint development, and medical monitoring. I remain a practicing nephrologist and have co-founded healthcare companies, including Innovative Renal Care and Corventum.
  
  I am interested in the future of academic medicine: educating physicians differently, building research enterprises that operate at scale via coordination science, using data and AI responsibly, accelerating therapeutic development, and creating health systems that continuously learn and improve.
