Viewpoint Committee
The Neurosurgery Viewpoint Committee was created in April 2021 in alignment with the UF College of Medicine’s Office for Health Care Excellence, Community and Belonging vision to promote equity in medicine. With support from our Department Chair, Dr. Brian Hoh, the council serves as resource for faculty, staff and local community members to champion advancing a variety of viewpoints. Leadership for the Viewpoint Committee includes representation from clinical and research faculty, residents and staff with a variety of backgrounds. This committee assures our department’s commitment to represent the community which we serve.
