Jean Regan joins the University of Nevada School of Medicine this month as Chief Financial Officer where she will be responsible for overseeing the budgetary and fiscal affairs of the University of Nevada School of Medicine including planning, monitoring, and managing the School's overall financial plans, policies, programs and operations.

As CFO, Regan assists and advises John A. McDonald, M.D., Ph.D., Vice President of Health Science and Dean in fiscal strategic planning for the School in support of all its missions. Regan will evaluate financial opportunities and prepare and present formal recommendations regarding possible restructuring or enhancement of organizational components.

"I look forward to being a part of a growing medical school that is working to be of more service to the community. We are 'building people' here and getting bigger and that has a very human feel to it. I really like being a part of a relatively young, growing medical school," Regan said.

Prior to that position, she served Stanford as the associate director of internal audit for the medical school and was with the University of Colorado at Boulder in the accounting/finance and auditing departments.
