UI officials name River Landing Clinic director

University of Iowa officials announced Rami Boutros Wednesday as the new executive medical director for the Off-Site Ambulatory Care Programs at the UI Health Care-Iowa River Landing, according to a press release.

Boutros, who works at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, will begin his position June 30, pending approval from the state Board of Regents.

“We were looking for a leader with the right combination of skills and experience to help bring this major project to fruition, and we clearly met that goal when we found Dr. Boutros,” Jean Robillard, UI vice president for Medical Affairs, said in the release. “His previous experience in caring for Iowans is an added bonus.”

Boutros has worked with implementing electronic medical records since 2008, including work with the MyChart application in Cleveland.

His responsibilities as executive medical director will include developing UI Health Care-Iowa River Landing, planning a budget for the project and financial management.
