David Dosa Named Meyers Chair in Geriatric Medicine
David Dosa, MD, MPH, chief and professor of medicine in the Division of Geriatric Medicine, was recently named the Meyers Chair in Geriatric Medicine by the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees. The endowment was made possible by the generosity of the Meyers Primary Care Institute, Inc., and Mrs. Betty Brudnick of Needham. Dr. Dosa joined UMass Chan in 2024 and is leading a critically important service for UMass Chan’s primary clinical partner, UMass Memorial Health, and the research and teaching efforts of a division with strategic relevance for UMass Chan’s future MD graduates.
The Meyers Chair in Geriatric Medicine will continue the legacy of the Meyers Primary Care Institute by supporting a nationally recognized and board-certified physician-scholar in geriatrics who will work collaboratively to expand research and educational efforts that translate into improvements in age-friendly care locally, regionally, and nationally.
