Earlier this month, Dr. Manns was appointed as the senior associate dean of clinical research for the Cumming School of Medicine and associate vice-president for health research at the University of Calgary.
 
Dr. Manns is a researcher and professor in health economics and a nephrologist in the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Medicine, holding a CIHR Foundation award in health system funding for his work in health economics.
