Dean CUNY School of Medicine
Dr. Green leads CUNY School of Medicine, a public institution uniquely committed to actively addressing the social determinants of medical education by training future doctors and physician assistants who primarily come from, and go on to work in, neighborhoods historically underserved by medicine. An award-winning tenured professor, academic anesthesiologist, and pain medicine physician, Green has authored geminal and seminal papers revealing unequal pain treatment and inequities in pain care that negatively impacts women, minorities, older adults, and low-income populations as well as the foundational paper describing Black/white differences in hospital security calls. A national expert, Dr. Green worked in the U.S. Senate as a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow at the National Academy of Medicine and was thanked in the Congressional Record for her work in the U.S. Senate. Her research and policy work helped shape legislation including the FDA authorization and National Pain Care Policy Act. Green is an elected fellow and member of several prestigious medical and honor societies.
