本·施瓦茨，硕士.D., MHCM, 可能正忙着领导Corewell健康 East, but there’s one thing he never forgets: the importance of inspiring the next generation of physicians.
The Corewell健康 East的总裁 hopes to do just that when he delivers the keynote next week at the 十大菠菜台子威廉博蒙特医学院 2023届的毕业典礼.
To date, the May 12 event will be the culmination of achievements for members of OUWB’s 9th class.
施瓦兹, 她也是OUWB的妇产科教授, 他称成为主讲人是“巨大的荣誉”.”
“It’s really a special opportunity for me to share with the next generation of doctors my perspective on some of the opportunities for us to embrace humanity and health care,他说.
杜安·梅兹瓦，m.m.D., Stephan Sharf dean, OUWB, says 施瓦兹 is “a perfect keynote speaker” for the event.
“Ben brings a very supportive and deeply meaningful message to our physician graduates,” says Mezwa. “Ben is truly an accomplished physician leader who understands the importance of OUWB and the special kind of physician it creates.”
“The choice of Ben 施瓦兹 as a commencement keynote is a natural,他补充道.
“非常特别的东西”
我父亲是个内科医生兼妇产科医生, 施瓦茨说，这不是一个牵强的想法，他, 太, would one day wear a white coat — especially when he saw the “pure joy” his father had in going to work every day.
施瓦兹 says his career in health care has allowed him to have “real happiness.”
“在我做过的所有不同的工作中, 包括这个, I felt like I’ve had opportunities to be really impactful in helping other people be well, 享受更高质量的生活, 真正的繁荣和成功,他说. “Whether it’s the patients that have been taken care of or the team members I’ve worked with…there’s something very special about being part of a health care community.”
今天, 施瓦兹 leads strategy and corporate decision-making for eight hospitals, 155个门诊点, 近5,000名附属医生, 1,800名高级执业医师, 9,000名护士, 和2,000 volunteers across three counties in southeast Michigan. He also serves as a member of the Corewell健康 leadership team.
施瓦兹 previously served as senior vice president and the physician executive for the eastern region of Northwell Health in New York.
His 27-year career has increasingly widened his circle of influence — both as a practicing physician and as an administrator and leader. He is passionate about teaching and inspiring the next generation of physicians, serving as an associate professor at several institutions and administering oral exams for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Dallas.
It’s with an eye on the future of health care that 施瓦兹 says he feels the need to be so involved with OUWB’s medical students.
自从一年前加入Corewell健康以来, 例如, 施瓦兹 has regularly appeared at signature events for OUWB, 比如 2026届白大褂毕业生 典礼和2023届毕业生 比赛日庆祝活动.
“首先，我喜欢去，”他笑着说. “Every time I go it’s about something that’s really happy, fun, and exciting.”
There’s another reason 施瓦兹 says he wants to be so involved with OUWB.
他表示:“我们必须尽可能接近OUWB。. “Not only because it’s important for us to make sure we’re doing our fair share to educate students, 但让他们了解我们也有好处.”
Many OUWB graduates move on to residencies with Corewell健康 East. 仅仅是2023届的学生, 19 students will be participating in residencies at Corewell健康 Hospitals in Dearborn, 皇家橡树, 泰勒, 和格罗斯波因特的12种特色菜, with another three students heading to residencies with Corewell健康 West at Spectrum Health Michigan State University.
“无比自豪和满足”
施瓦兹 doesn’t want to give away his whole presentation before commencement, 但他表示，总体上将与OUWB保持一致 使命、愿景和价值观.
“A really important concept in health care right now — really important no matter how technical or sophisticated we get, or how many challenges are put in front of us — is to not lose that human-to-human connection with our patients and their families and loved ones,施瓦茨说。.
“I want to leave everyone with the message that no matter how hard your work is…to never lose sight of why we’re doing what we’re doing and the importance of those connections,他补充道.
The COVID-19 pandemic showed him that the next generation is ready, 太.
“My respect for the younger generation of providers has been exponentially amplified,施瓦茨说。.
“To see how they stepped up and ran into the fire of the COVID-19 crisis…it gives me tremendous hope for the future and to be part of training them and giving them a launching pad to succeed gives me tremendous pride and satisfaction.”
