Dr. Kington’s personal example underscores his commitment to educational excellence. At the age of 16, he entered a combined undergraduate-medical school program at the University of Michigan that allowed him to earn his B.S. when he was 19 and his M.D. when he was just 21 years old. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Michael Reese Medical Center in Chicago and was appointed a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. While there, he completed his M.B.A. and Ph.D. with a concentration in health policy and economics at The Wharton School.

<p>This guy is seriously accomplished and educated. I’m glad to see the Midwest (Michigan & Illinois) connections as I was wondering how an east coast (NIH) based administrator might fare in the relative isolation of central Iowa.</p>

<p>Both Grinnell and Dr. Kington are fortunate to have found each other.</p>
