University of Maryland, Baltimore President Jay A. Perman, MD, says providing compassionate healthcare is essential, but so too is the need to find creative ways to pay for it. Perman shares illustrative stories from his pediatric gastroenterology practice and explains how his views were informed by his upbringing as the child of poor Eastern European immigrants in Chicago. Jay A. Perman is president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) — Maryland’s only public health, law, and human services university. A pediatric gastroenterologist, Perman continues to practice medicine through his weekly President’s Clinic, where he teaches team-based health care to students of medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, social work, and law.
Deeply committed to UMB’s neighbors, Perman established a community engagement office to support scholarship and advocacy on behalf of West Baltimore residents. He inaugurated a mentoring program to inspire local students to pursue careers in the health sciences, and he opened a community center to provide direct services to residents and to partner with them in neighborhood-strengthening projects.
Perman first came to UMB in 1999 as chair of the School of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics. He left Baltimore in 2004 for the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, where he was dean and vice president for clinical affairs. Additionally, he has served on faculty and in leadership positions at the University of California, San Francisco, Johns Hopkins University, and Virginia Commonwealth University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
