Chad A. Perlyn, M.D., Ph.D., MBA, formerly senior vice president of surgical services, community health, and corporate responsibility at Nicklaus Children’s Health System, has been named executive vice president and chief medical officer at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) and executive medical director for NSU Health. Dr. Perlyn will also be a professor of health care sciences at NSU’s Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences.
In this new role of Chief Medical Officer for NSU’s seven health care-related colleges and NSU Health, its patient-centric, integrated health care network of more than 70 practice areas, clinics, and centers, Dr. Perlyn will work on strategic development of NSU Health. He will be the senior leader of all medical and clinical aspects and functions of the university and its health care enterprise. Dr. Perlyn will coordinate and collaborate with the various academic health care disciplines to advance NSU Health’s mission to integrate education, research, and patient care for better patient care as well as to foster research breakthroughs and enrich the health care workforce with qualified and caring leaders, providers, and professionals.
“This is a new and very important leadership role for the university and our array of health care clinics,” said Dr. Harry K. Moon, NSU’s president-elect and chief operating officer. “Dr. Perlyn has played a pivotal role at Nicklaus Children’s, both as a nationally recognized health care executive and as a pediatric plastic surgeon. Over his 15-year leadership tenure at Nicklaus Children’s, he has held many roles and shaped many key programs across the Nicklaus Children’s Health System, including serving as president of Nicklaus Children’s Pediatric Specialists, managing the development and operations of the Nicklaus Children’s ambulatory surgery center, and overseeing the opening of the Kenneth C. Griffin Surgical Tower. This medical and professional experience, combined with his academic and research background from the University of Oxford, University of Miami, Washington and Northwestern universities, allows him to lead and contribute across all aspects of the NSU/NSU Health enterprise, and reflects the rising stature of Nova Southeastern University to attract such top-notch talent from world-class hospitals and universities.”
