A university search committee has announced the second final candidate for the next University of Iowa vice president for medical affairs and dean of the UI Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine.

Jay Brooks Jackson, professor of laboratory medicine and pathology, dean of the medical school, and vice president for health sciences at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, will meet with faculty, staff, and leadership at UI Health Care on Monday, Oct. 9, during a visit to campus. His curriculum vitae is available on the search committee’s website.
