Molokhia Named Chair Of Family Medicine For USA Health

 Dr. Ehab Molokhia has been named chair of the department of family medicine at USA Health following a distinguished career of leadership in clinical care, education and community health. Molokhia is also a professor at the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama (USA). He joined USA’s academic health system in 2002 and has served for more than two decades in expanding roles. Those leadership positions within the department include director of the family medicine clerkship, medical director of the family medicine clinic and director of the family medicine residency program. Molokhia said the department will continue expanding innovative models of team-based care, strengthening population health initiatives, and preparing residents and medical students to practice in an increasingly complex healthcare environment. A central focus will remain on improving and expanding healthcare access, particularly in underserved and rural communities. One example is the department’s ongoing partnership with Accordia Health, a federally qualified health center that integrates residency training with primary care services to help improve access for underserved populations.
