Edward M. Hundert, M.D.
Director
The Washington Advisory Group, an LECG Company
Edward Hundert advises on strategy and affiliation partnerships at universities and academic medical centers. Dr. Hundert is a higher education leader, psychiatrist, and medical ethicist. Over the past 20 years, he has served as President of Case Western Reserve University, Dean of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, and Associate Dean for Student Affairs at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Hundert is known for his innovative work at academic medical centers and across all levels of higher education. During his tenure as president of Case Western Reserve University, the Case School of Medicine created a new multi-affiliate model for academic medical centers involving four competing health systems in Northeast Ohio. The University implemented a new curriculum for all undergraduates and new curricula at every one of Case’s professional schools. Case also developed new partnerships and alliances that enhanced the University’s relationship with the city of Cleveland. At the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Dr. Hundert led the creation of the “Double Helix Curriculum,” which integrated basic and clinical sciences across the four-year medical school experience. His work at Harvard on the “informal curriculum” helped frame a national discussion of professionalism in medicine.
Dr. Hundert has served on many national boards, including the Association of American Universities, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. He co-chaired the Institute of Medicine’s National Summit on Health Professions Education. Dr. Hundert has written dozens of articles and chapters on topics in psychiatry, philosophy, medical ethics, and medical education, as well as two books: Philosophy, Psychiatry and Neuroscience: Three Approaches to the Mind (Oxford University Press, 1989) and Lessons from an Optical Illusion: On Nature and Nurture, Knowledge and Values (Harvard University Press, 1995). He is currently Visiting Professor of Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical School and a member of the boards of TIAA-CREF and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
