Shifali Arora, MD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shifali Arora<\/a>, MD, assistant professor of medicine in the\u00a0division of gastroenterology and hepatology was recently named vice-chief of clinical operations for the division.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fortunate Dr. Arora is willing to serve in this important role,\u201d said Nick Shaheen, MD, chief of the division of gastroenterology and hepatology. \u201cShe ran our quality improvement program for the past several years during which time multiple substantial improvements in patient care were introduced under her direction.\u00a0I am confident she will provide outstanding leadership to the group.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the last six months, Arora has been working with Spencer Dorn, MD, to understand the intricacies of clinical services, taking on many of his previous roles as vice-chief while he has transitioned to vice-chair for care innovation in the Department of Medicine.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also thankful to Spencer Dorn for the outstanding job he has done as our head of clinical operations for the past 10 years,\u201d said Shaheen.\u00a0\u201cHe has placed the division in an excellent position to continue to provide outstanding care to our patients.\u00a0 I personally am very grateful to him for all the things he has done for the division and am enjoying seeing all the innovation he is introducing into the department.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arora says clinical services comprise a complex ecosystem of scheduling,\u00a0outpatient clinics\u00a0and procedures, and she brings a QI perspective to her new role. Working with fellows\u00a0on\u00a0quality improvement projects\u00a0furthered\u00a0her interest in administrative work.<\/p>\n

Arora attended medical school at the University of\u00a0Illinois at\u00a0Chicago, followed by residency at Duke and a gastroenterology fellowship at Rush University. Before starting at UNC, a\u00a0technology\u00a0and policy fellowship with the National Science Foundation helped Arora understand how policy impacts healthcare.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized how\u00a0healthcare\u00a0policy changes\u00a0can\u00a0broadly\u00a0impact patient care, and\u00a0that\u00a0experience helped guide me.\u00a0I realized I wanted to work in a capacity where I could be involved in enacting workflow changes to help improve patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShifali is bright, hardworking, and likeable,\u201d said Dorn. \u201cShe has already implemented a program that reduces inpatient procedure delays and shortens length of stays. We are very excited she is moving into this role, and quite confident she will do a great job leading and managing our outstanding GI clinical program.\u201d<\/p>\n
