DAYTON, Ohio—James R. Ebert, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.H., F.A.A.P., has
been named the Oscar Boonshoft Chair and Director of the Center for Global
Health Systems, Management and Policy at the Wright State University

Ebert is an associate professor of community health and pediatrics
with the medical school. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, he holds a B.A. in economics from The
Ohio State University, an M.D. from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine,
an M.B.A. from the Raj Soin College of Business at Wright State University and
a Master of Public Health from Wright State. He is board certified in pediatrics
and adolescent medicine.
A fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Ebert has served
as a chapter president for the AAP. He is a member of both the Society for Adolescent

the Lead Physician for the Lipid Clinic at Dayton Children’s Medical Center.
Most recently, Ebert developed and launched the Boonshoft Physician

curriculum. This program now includes
over 40 medical students and has attracted applicants from across the United
States.
In his new position, Ebert will be responsible for the continued growth
and success of all education and research programs of the Center for
