3D Systems Announces Appointment of The Honorable David J. Shulkin, MD to its Medical Advisory Board
June 07 2022 - 3:05PM
3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) today announced the appointment of David J.
Shulkin, MD, former United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs, to
the company’s recently established Medical Advisory Board (MAB).
The primary mission of the MAB is to provide strategic input,
guidance, and recommendations for the company’s expanding efforts
in regenerative medicine.
As one of the country’s most highly respected experts in health
care management, Secretary Shulkin is widely recognized as a
visionary leader for patient-centered care. His passion and
expertise led to his early appointment as the first Chief Medical
Officer for the University of Pennsylvania Health System, and later
as President and CEO of Beth Israel Medical Center in New York.
As a testament to his leadership and vision, in 2015 Dr. Shulkin
was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve as Undersecretary
of Veterans Affairs for Health in the United States Department for
Veterans Affairs (VA). Recognizing Dr. Shulkin’s leadership
capabilities, in 2017 he was nominated by President Donald Trump to
become the ninth United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs. He
was confirmed by the Senate 100-0, becoming the most senior
Government official to serve under both Presidents Obama and Trump.
During his tenure, Secretary Shulkin worked to transform and
modernize the VA healthcare system, the Government’s second-largest
organization with over 350,000 employees and 1,700 facilities
nationwide. Since leaving the VA, Secretary Shulkin has continued
his distinguished career as a leading spokesman for
patient-centered care and the continued transformation of health
care to increase quality and accessibility to all in need. He is
the author of three books, and the recipient of numerous career
achievement awards, including his being named as one of the 100
Most Influential Leaders in Healthcare by Modern Healthcare.
Commenting on Dr. Shulkin’s appointment, Dr. Jeffrey Graves,
president and CEO of 3D Systems stated, “We are extremely pleased
with Secretary Shulkin’s willingness to join our newly formed
Medical Advisory Board. His vast experience and expertise will be
highly valuable in helping guide our efforts, not only in the
rapidly emerging field of regenerative medicine but also as we
continue to expand our existing Healthcare Solutions business,
which is focused primarily on dental and orthopedic applications
for 3D printing.”
In recognition of his appointment, Secretary Shulkin commented,
“3D Systems is an acknowledged leader in the application of 3D
printing technology to address some of the most challenging areas
of medicine today. The ability their technology offers for mass
customization of patient-specific solutions, ranging from
orthopedic indications to the emerging field of regenerative
medicine, is truly exceptional. I am honored and excited to be an
advisor to the company as they continue to advance in all of these
arenas.”
