Dr.
Rahn Named
Senior Vice Chancellor
MCG President Daniel W. Rahn has been named to the new position of senior vice chancellor for health and medical programs for the University System of Georgia. Dr. Rahn will incorporate his new responsibilities into his role as MCG president.
His appointment is part of a major reorganization of the University System Office announced June 7 by Chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr.
“I am honored to be asked to lead this effort,” said Dr. Rahn. “Our state has an existing shortage of health care professionals that is expected to worsen in the years ahead. It is logical and desirable that the University System of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia, the state’s health sciences university, take the lead in addressing this shortage.”
Dr. Rahn recently chaired the USG-appointed Task Force on Health Professions Education, which analyzed the state’s need for health professionals and made recommendations.
