John A. Rock, M.D. 
Only the fourth individual since 1980 to guide the growth and development of a new U.S. allopathic medical school, Dr. Rock, founding dean and senior vice president for medical affairs at FIU’s Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, is former director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. During his tenure at Louisiana State University Health Science, he served as chancellor of the Health Sciences Center and had management oversight of Louisiana’s statewide Charity Hospital System. Vast experience in administration and research has served him well. At Emory, for example, he boosted the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology’s National Institutes of Health’s ranking from 66th in the nation to 18th; at LSU, he established a School of Public Health and increased the medical school’s research funding by almost 85 percent.

Timothy Page
Dr. Page joined the faculty of the Department of Health Policy and Management in the Robert Stempel College of Public Health & Social Work in 2008 after completing a doctorate in economics at the University of New Hampshire. His doctoral studies were concentrated in health economics and public finance. As an economist working in public health, the overarching theme of his scholarship and teaching is bringing the tools of economic evaluation into new areas of health services and policy research. Translational research and implementation science are currently areas of great interest to the research community, and economic evaluations of costs and outcomes are integral to the process of translating health service and policy research into widespread implementation to improve population health.
