Kevin Shannon, MD, MPH, grew up in the Chicago area and completed his education through medical internship there. He has had an enduring desire to serve God and those in greatest need over the years – from health centers in inner-city settings (in 4 states over 4 decades) to international medical missions work (some in Latin America, but mostly in Africa). His years as a practicing Family Physician before 2000 laid a foundation for the academic and administrative career that has followed. He was a member of the University of Illinois research team that created the HITS screening for domestic violence, beginning those research efforts in 1999. He was exposed to the IHI Model for Quality Improvement as faculty at Dartmouth Medical School 2000-2004, and has applied those principles in New Hampshire, Uganda, Kenya, and California. He has served as PI for the HRSA THCGME primary care residency programs at SAC Health, since co-writing the original grant proposal in 2012 and is working on expanding the THCGME training footprint here, as the need is great and the medical workers are few in the Inland Empire of Southern California. He was recently appointed Chief Academic Officer, to shepherd the educational activities of more than 1,000 learners that pass through the doors of SAC Health each year.
