WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 11, 2020) — The Milken Institute School of Public Health (Milken Institute SPH) at the George Washington University today announced Patricia (Polly) Pittman, PhD, will be the first Fitzhugh Mullan Professor of Health Workforce Equity. Pittman, a professor of health policy and management at Milken Institute SPH and director of the Fitzhugh Mullan Institute for Health Workforce Equity (Mullan Institute), will be officially installed in the professorship at a ceremony to be held at Milken Institute SPH today.

Pittman is a renowned expert in health workforce issues and policy, conducting research on health systems, recruitment of health professionals, and workforce innovations. Pittman co-founded the GW Health Workforce, which is now known as the Mullan Institute, with the late Fitzhugh Mullan, MD, to further research and education in the area of health workforce equity. The Institute was renamed in April 2019 to honor Mullan, a professor of health policy and management and pediatrics at GW’s Milken Institute SPH and the School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS). Mullan, a public health pioneer revered for his lifelong commitment to social justice, health equity and health workforce policies, died last November.
