The UCSF Dept. of Orthopaedic Surgery is pleased to announce that Coleen Sabatini, MD, MPH has been appointed as the Vice Chair of Health Equity and Academic Affairs.
“There is much work to be done to increase access to high-quality musculoskeletal care for all people -- both locally and globally” said Dr. Sabatini, who is a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon and a champion of global health and health equity at UCSF. “Inequities exist in so many facets of our society and healthcare systems that impact the quality of life for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. I am honored to be given this opportunity to lead the Department’s efforts to address musculoskeletal health disparities with the goal of improving the musculoskeletal health of all people, particularly those from vulnerable populations,” Dr. Sabatini added.
