Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer

"MUSC currently has different pieces in place. What we need is to develop a more tightly integrated core strategy or system that will enable our staff to teach, conduct research and deliver health care effectively."

Dr. Frank C. Clark earned his doctorate in mathematics from the University of Georgia, where he later became director of academic computing and a champion of faculty computer literacy. He has also served in CIO positions at the University of Tennessee's Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis and at the Baptist Healthcare System Kentucky in Louisville. He comes to MUSC directly from his position as Senior Vice President and CIO at Covenant Health Care in Knoxville.

His background in academic medicine allows him the opportunity to develop and coordinate resources to support the academic, clinical, and research strategies of the MUSC enterprise. Initially, he plans to meet faculty and staff and study MUSC's work culture to identify specific issues and priorities before addressing new initiatives.
