Valedictory Speaker

JONATHAN S. LEWIN, MD, FACR

Jonathan S. Lewin, MD, is the Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, Emory University; Executive Director,
Woodruff Health Sciences Center; and CEO and Chairman of the Board, Emory Healthcare. He also serves as
Professor of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and Professor of
Neurosurgery in the Emory School of Medicine and Professor of Health Policy and Management in the Rollins
School of Public Health. Dr. Lewin is a national leader in academic medicine strategy and integrated health care
delivery and an international scientific leader in interventional and intraoperative MRI.

Prior to his Emory appointment, Dr. Lewin served as the Martin Donner Professor and Chairman of the Russell
H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Science at Johns Hopkins University and the Radiologist-
in-Chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 2004 until 2016, with secondary appointments as Professor of Oncology,
Neurosurgery, and Biomedical Engineering. From 2012-2016 he also served as Co-Chair for Strategic Planning
and from 2013-2016 as Senior Vice President for Integrated Healthcare Delivery for Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Before joining the faculty of Johns Hopkins, Dr. Lewin was the Director of the Division of Magnetic Resonance
Imaging at University Hospitals of Cleveland and Professor and Vice Chairman for Research and Academic
Affairs in the Department of Radiology at Case Western Reserve University.

Dr. Lewin received his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Brown University in 1981 and his Doctor of
Medicine from Yale University in 1985. Following his internship in pediatrics at Yale-New Haven Hospital and
residency in diagnostic radiology at University Hospitals of Cleveland, he completed a magnetic resonance
research fellowship in Germany, a neuroradiology fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic, and additional training in
head and neck radiology at the Pittsburgh Eye and Ear Hospital.

Dr. Lewin is a pioneer in interventional and intraoperative MR imaging and has published more than 200
peerreviewed scientific manuscripts and over 70 book chapters, reviews, commentaries, and other invited papers
on topics including the basic science and clinical aspects of interventional MR imaging, functional MRI, head and
neck imaging, MR angiography, and the imaging of acute stroke.

Dr. Lewin holds 28 U.S. and seven international patents and has been PI or co-PI on NIH and other federal and
state grants with awards of more than $54 million, as well as a co-investigator on a number of other grants and
projects. He is a Fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and of the American
College of Radiology and has lectured around the world on numerous topics in magnetic resonance imaging,
interventional radiology, neuroradiology, and leadership in academic medicine. He has served on numerous
national committees, editorial boards, and grant review groups for foundations and the NIH, and on the task
force on minimally invasive cancer therapy for the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Lewin is past president of the
Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments, the American Roentgen Ray Society, the Association of
University Radiologists, the International Society for Strategic Studies in Radiology, and the Academy for
Radiology Research.

Modern Healthcare named Dr. Lewin one of the 50 Most Influential Physicians of 2017. He was also named one of
the Most Influential Atlantans of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 by the Atlanta Business Chronicle; one of the

2020. He has received Gold Medal Awards from three professional societies for distinguished service and
contributions to the field of radiology (Radiology Society of North America, the American Roentgen Ray Society,
and the Association of University Radiologists), and he was the 2019 recipient of the National Medical
Fellowships’ Pioneer Award. He is also a past recipient of the Radiology Research Alliance Innovation and
Leadership Award, as well as the Leadership Luminary Award from the Radiology Leadership Institute of the

Oath of Hippocrates
A s the ancient Greeks swore by their pagan gods,

so do I solemnly affirm
that as a graduate in medicine at Emory University,

according to my ability and judgment,
I will keep this oath and stipulation.

I will consider dear to me those who have taught me this art
and will impart the precepts and instruction of the profession
to all those who qualify as students of the art and agree
to the standards of the profession.
I will follow that system of regimen
which according to my ability and judgment
I consider for the benefit of my patients,
and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.
Into whatever house I enter
I will go into it for the benefit of the sick,
and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption.

Whatever in connection with my professional practice
or not in connection with it,
I see or hear in the lives of men and women
which ought not to be spoken of abroad,
I will not divulge,
as reckoning that all such should be kept secret.
While I continue to keep this oath inviolate,
may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art,
respected by all people in all times,
but should I trespass and violate this oath
may the reverse be my lot.
