"I sometimes wonder how the leader of IHPI manages to provide such thoughtful and individualized guidance to those he mentors. I suspect I have it exactly backwards – amazing mentors like Dr. Ayanian are just vanishingly rare, and it is exactly those singularly talented mentors who become the most effective and visionary leaders.” “He has fostered the kind of creative, collaborative, and interdisciplinary environment ideal for early career faculty to thrive professionally and personally."
