Harvard leader on tap to head UT Southwestern Medical Center
A prominent Harvard doctor is the sole finalist for the top job at a Texas university, a Dallas paper reports.
Dr. Daniel K. Podolsky (left), head of the gastrointestinal unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, chief academic officer at Partners HealthCare, and a Harvard Medical School professor, is one step away from becoming the next president of UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, according to the Dallas Morning News. He was the only candidate chosen by the UT board of regents, which must wait three weeks before making a final decision.
Podolsky, 55, would succeed Dr. Kern Wildenthal, who is stepping down in September after 22 years as head of UT Southwestern, the story says.
