Scott A. Shipman, MD, MPH
Professor
Founding Executive Director, Institute for Population Health
Scott Shipman, MD, MPH, is the inaugural CyncHealth Endowed Chair of Population Health at Creighton University, and the executive director of the Institute for Population Health at Creighton. This university-level institute, launched in fall of 2023, partners with each of Creighton’s undergraduate and graduate schools and its clinical partners in the Midwest and in Arizona, and with the many key stakeholders that influence health and well-being in our communities.
Shipman spent the previous decade as director of Clinical Innovations and director of Primary Care Initiatives at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), where he worked with health system leaders to promote effective innovations in ambulatory care delivery and training. He led AAMC activities focused on telehealth innovations within teaching health systems. Shipman established Project CORE (Coordinating Optimal Referral Experiences), a leading model of care that measurably improved quality, efficiency and access at the interface of primary care and specialty care. He oversaw the scaling of this model to more than 50 large health systems in more than 20 states across the U.S.
A pediatrician and health services researcher by training, Shipman has studied the healthcare workforce and workforce policy extensively. He completed medical school at the University of Nebraska, residency at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, and a fellowship in the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program at Johns Hopkins, where he also received his MPH.
