PROVIDENCE – Brown University announced that Dr. Peter Hollmann has been named the new academic director of its Executive Master of Healthcare Leadership program. He succeeds the program’s first director, Judy Bentkover, who remains a program faculty member.

“We are very pleased Dr. Hollmann will serve as the academic director for the Executive Master in Healthcare Leadership program,” Karen Sibley, vice president for strategic initiatives and dean of the School of Professional Studies at Brown, said in the university’s statement. “With his vast health care experience as a physician, administrator and innovator, Peter understands what it takes to deliver quality health care and organizational success, and he will ensure that EMHL continues to meet the needs of health care professionals in these rapidly changing times.”

Hollmann is also chief medical officer for University Medicine, a Rhode Island-based academic and patient care medical group practice with more than 200 physicians representing a dozen medical specialties. In that capacity, he helps define the organization’s strategy and direction in delivering health care services, performance improvement activities and developing clinical programs. In addition, Hollmann is assistant clinical professor in the department of family medicine at The Warren Alpert School of Medicine and maintains a geriatric primary care practice in East Providence.

Earlier in his career, Hollmann served as associate chief medical officer at Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island and as medical director for a long-term care hospital, skilled nursing facility and hospital-based home care company.

“We are at a critical inflection point in health care and it is imperative that we address the big questions of access, quality and cost thoughtfully and creatively,” Hollmann said in the statement. “Now is the time to engage more intensely with colleagues from across health care who face these challenges every day. I am very excited about taking this leadership position … and being part of the solution.”

The EMHL program builds on Brown University’s multidisciplinary approach to public health and policy, health economics and evidence-based medicine. The degree program prepares practitioners in clinical care, hospital and system administration, insurance, the biotech and pharmaceutical industries to address the nation’s rapidly evolving health care environment and to build innovative, sustainable solutions to urgent challenges in their organizations and across health care.
