A former U.S. Public Health Service captain and medical officer who spent nearly 20 years with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while also serving on the Emory University School of Medicine faculty is the first of two finalists to take over as vice president for medical affairs of University of Iowa Health Care and dean of its Carver College of Medicine.
Denise J. Jamieson, professor and chair for the Emory Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics and chief of gynecology and obstetrics for Emory Healthcare (University of Iowa)
Denise J. Jamieson — professor and chair for the Emory Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics and chief of gynecology and obstetrics for Emory Healthcare — will visit the UI campus Monday and Tuesday and participate in an open forum from noon to 1 p.m. Monday.
Another finalist — who’ll be identified 24 hours before their visit — is scheduled to be on campus May 8. This is UIHC’s second shot at a search to replace outgoing Vice President for Medical Affairs Brooks Jackson, after the chosen finalist from the first search turned down the offer.

That original search brought four finalists to campus in August — a diverse mix of two women and two men offering a range of medical and administrative experience from Dartmouth in New Hampshire to the University of North Carolina to Midwestern institutions like the universities of Chicago and Nebraska.
UIHC didn’t disclose which of the first finalists declined the job offer “due to family obligations.” But administrators relaunched the search in December with a new committee and a renewed commitment that Jackson will continue serving in his role until his successor begins.
Jackson — who started his tenure atop UI Health Care in late 2017 after establishing himself as an internationally-recognized AIDS researcher — announced plans to step down and assume a role on faculty more than a year ago in February 2022.
His UIHC salary in March was listed at $1.1 million.
His newly-named potential successor Jameison — who practices obstetrics and leads the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Emory — has focused her scientific research on emerging infectious diseases in pregnancy, incorporating “a population health perspective, with projects addressing health disparities and social determinants of health in the context of maternal morbidity and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.”
She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania; her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine; and her master’s of public health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

She did postgraduate training on the opposite coast at the University of California at San Francisco and then with the CDC, serving initially as medical officer in its Division of Reproductive Health.
During her nearly two decades with the CDC, Jameison served on a variety of teams and in administrative roles — helping, for example, to investigate the monkeypox outbreak, Ebola crisis, and Zika response. In 2005, she participated on an outbreak monitoring team for Hurricane Katrina.
Among her many awards, Jameison in 2007 received a “commissioned corps outstanding service medal for outstanding leadership and national and international contributions to women’s health.”
