Advisory Board

Advisory Board

The Advisory Board for the IPHG consists of deans of the UW schools and colleges and chairs of the departments involved with the Institute. The chair position on this board rotates, and the current chair is Patricia Wahl, Dean of the SPH. There are also representatives from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC), the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and Seattle Children's Hospital. The board generally meets annually, and more often as needed, to provide guidance to IPHG.
