Dr. Rahul Sharma has been re-elected to continue serving as the Full-time Faculty Representative to the Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) Board of Fellows. His new three-year term will begin on July 1.
The WCM Board of Fellows is responsible for the general supervision of the programs and operations of the Medical College and Graduate School. Among other responsibilities, the Board oversees academic, financial and other program planning, approves domestic and global affiliations, oversees all clinical, research and administrative facilities, and approves faculty appointments to tenure and endowed professorships.
Dr. Sharma was one of 20 applicants across many departments and disciplines to apply for this role to continue advancing Weill Cornell Medicine’s mission to strengthen connections with our partners and parent university.
“I am certain Dr. Sharma will continue to be an outstanding liaison between the Board of Fellows and the Faculty,” said Robert A. Harrington, M.D., Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of Weill Cornell Medicine and Provost for Medical Affairs at Cornell University, “He is a national leader in the fields of emergency medicine, healthcare operations, innovation, and telemedicine, and his background and expertise will continue to be an important resource to our Board.”
“It has been a tremendous honor to serve as the full-time faculty representative on the Weill Cornell Medicine Board of Fellows for the past three years,” said Dr. Sharma, “And especially now, in this increasingly complex and evolving healthcare and academic landscape, I believe that strong faculty representation is essential in shaping the future of our institution.”
