University of California, Davis, Chancellor Gary S. May has made three UC Davis Health leadership appointments: Michael Condrin as the interim chief executive officer, Bruce Lee Hall as interim vice chancellor of human health sciences, and Susan Murin as permanent dean of the School of Medicine. 

Both Condrin and Hall will serve in their respective interim roles effective Feb. 15, 2025, and will report directly to Chancellor May. Murin’s appointment is effective from Jan. 1, 2025, and will run through June 30, 2026. She will report to interim Vice Chancellor Hall.

“I’m very pleased to have these strong leaders in place on our Sacramento campus to continue driving forward our strategic goals,” May said. “Mike, Bruce and Susan bring significant experience that will further position UC Davis Health for success as our health enterprise grows to deliver the best patient care, education and research in the region.”

Michael Condrin

As interim CEO, Condrin will establish short-term and long-range strategic and business goals and objectives, monitor financial performance, oversee hospital and clinical operations, and ensure UC Davis Health provides high-quality patient care services.

Condrin has over 20 years of experience as a university healthcare executive with progressive responsibility in ambulatory care operations, strategic planning, financial management, physician partnership and personnel leadership within the University of California. He began his career at UC Davis in 2002 and has served in a variety of administrative roles, including director of clinical operations and co-leader of ambulatory strategy and operations. Most recently he served as chief operating officer of the UC Davis Medical Center. 

Bruce Lee Hall 

Hall will have responsibility for the strategic direction of UC Davis Health, including oversight of the UC Davis School of Medicine and Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. He will participate in campuswide policy development and strategic implementation through membership on the Chancellor’s Leadership Council and the Council of Deans and Vice Chancellors.

Hall joined UC Davis in 2024 as chief clinical officer, responsible for oversight of all clinical operations. His previous role was at Washington University and BJC HealthCare in St. Louis, where he served as professor of surgery and as the nonprofit system’s chief medical officer. His areas of expertise include performance measurement, quality improvement and facilitating change. For more than a decade, he taught healthcare economics and management courses, and guest lectured on topics including healthcare economics, insurance theory, health policy, health care management and industry change.

Susan Murin

Murin served as interim dean starting in November 2021 and is a professor and clinician in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine. Under her leadership, the School of Medicine achieved a full eight-year Liaison Committee on Medical Education accreditation. She launched several critical initiatives to achieve efficiency, consistency and equity, as well as year-over-year historic highs in research funding. Murin has held numerous leadership positions throughout her 29-year tenure at UC Davis Health. She was vice dean for clinical affairs and executive director of the UC Davis Medical Group.

Condrin’s appointment was approved by University of California President Michael V. Drake and the Board of Regents’ Health Services Committee at its Jan. 23 meeting.

While the longer-term UC Davis Health leadership structure has not yet been finalized, Chancellor May anticipates beginning a national search for at least one of the leadership positions in early spring.
