She will remain in her post at the University of Miami, where she has been president since 2001, and will serve at Brookings concurrently.
Shalala will draw on her role as secretary of HHS where she oversaw Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in the work of the Economic Studies program at Brookings and its Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform.
“We are honored that Dr. Shalala will lend her expertise, experience, and boundless energy to Brookings’s efforts to improve public policy,” said Brookings President Strobe Talbott in a released statement.
“I am certain that her many years of outstanding public service will be invaluable as we address America’s critical economic and health policy challenges,” said Karen Dynan, vice president and co-director of Economic Studies at Brookings.
