Mark McClellan is a visiting scholar at AEI and the director of the Engelberg Center for Healthcare Reform at Brookings.  Before joining AEI and Brookings, he served as administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In the Bush administration, he served as a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers and senior director for health care policy at the White House.  In these positions, he developed and implemented major reforms in health policy.  His work at the Joint Center similarly focuses on improving care and eliminating excess health care costs--by identifying and helping to implement steps in the public and private sector to speed the development and use of safe and effective new treatments, and to reform payment and regulatory systems to increase access to high-quality, innovative care that prevents diseases and disease complications at the lowest possible cost.  Dr. McClellan remains an associate professor of economics and associate professor of medicine at Stanford University.
