James R. Boex , PhD, MBA

Dr.  Boex has been active in medical and health professions education, public health and health care management for nearly fifty years.  Over this period he has served as an award-winning teacher, a successful researcher and consultant, an innovative manager, and performed successful liaison work at the state and federal government levels.
 
His experiences have occurred in one of the newest medical schools in the country and one of the oldest, as well as in a variety of public health and health care delivery settings.  Over the years he has trained thousands of medical students and residents, attending physicians, practicing public health professionals, and graduate students in public health, health care management, the biomedical sciences, and related fields. 
 
His research interests converged around understanding effects at the intersection of clinical education and clinical care, including a variety of health care professions and across the continuum of care from tertiary care centers to the community at large.   These investigations were supported by state and federal agencies and national foundations; resulted in many publications and national & international presentations, and continue to have policy and management impacts to the present.  Based on these investigations, a number of major health care organizations sought his advice and counsel on related issues.
 
He helped build and lead innovative programs in medical education and public health education.  He urged early adoption of on-line education and helped lead the development of a pioneering asynchronous on-line program in health care management.   
 
Dr. Boex retired from full-time employment in 2012 and was named an Emeritus Professor of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.  He returned to his home in Hudson, Ohio from where he has continued his active involvement with the University and in a number of other areas, including serving as a member of the Summit County Board of Health helping to address the opiate addiction and COVID-19 epidemics.
