Brown University is losing the deputy dean of its School of Public Health.
Doctor Megan Ranney, will be the new dean at Yale University's School of Public Health.
She has been a frequent commentator on national TV during the pandemic.
Ronald Aubert, interim dean of Brown’s School of Public Health, said Ranney has been a remarkable public health leader at Brown, in Rhode Island and nationally, as well as a dedicated mentor and teacher to aspiring physicians and public health professionals studying at the University.
“Megan has been a tireless advocate for patients, students, fellow faculty and medical practitioners — and for advancing creative ideas and approaches to public health,” Aubert said. “Her scholarship has had a significant impact on real-world issues facing patients, and she’s inspired and informed everyone from students at Brown to people across the country who count on her expert analysis on timely health issues. She’s been a champion for the mission of the School of Public Health, and we’re grateful for the extensive impact she’s had on our community.”
The president of Yale describes Ranney as an internationally recognized public health leader.
