CLEVELAND -- Richard E. Grant, MD has been named Chairholder of the Edgar B. Jackson, Jr., MD Endowed Chair at University Hospitals of Cleveland, the first endowed chair to honor an African American physician in Ohio and the only endowed position in the nation that promotes and ensures diversity among future medical leaders. An endowed chair -- a permanent staff position named for an individual of stature -- is one of the highest honors a hospital can bestow upon a physician. This Chair honors the esteemed Edgar B. Jackson, Jr., MD, a clinician and academic administrator. The recently retired Dr. Jackson, former Chief of Staff of University Hospitals of Cleveland, has dedicated much of his career to encouraging minority students to pursue a career in medicine. In 1991, Dr. Jackson created the David Satcher Clerkship, a month-long program for visiting fourth-year minority medical students that introduces them to University Hospitals with hopes of attracting them as residents.
