Institute for Population Health Team NEW

Scott Shipman, MD, MPH, is the inaugural CyncHealth Endowed Chair of Population Health at Creighton University and the executive director of the Institute for Population Health.

Previously, Shipman served as director of Clinical Innovations and director of Primary Care Initiatives at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) for a decade. In that role, he worked with health system leaders to advance innovations in ambulatory care delivery and training. He led national efforts focused on telehealth within teaching health systems.

He earned his medical degree from the University of Nebraska, completed residency at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, and completed a fellowship in the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program at Johns Hopkins University, where he also received his MPH.
