Nesbitt, M.D., M.P.H., the center has become one of the nation’s leading telehealth programs. It offers a unique group of services that include telemedicine, education, innovation and research. Nesbitt serves as director of the center in addition to being Associate Vice Chancellor for Strategic Technologies and Alliances.
