AdvaMed Statement on Dr. Jeff Shuren’s Retirement
AdvaMed President and CEO Scott Whitaker released the following statement about U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health Director, Dr. Jeff Shuren:
“On behalf of the entire medtech industry, I want to thank Dr. Shuren for his incredible career of service to patients and public health. Jeff understood the critical role a regulator plays in the innovation ecosystem, knowing how to balance the ultimate goal of medical device safety and effectiveness with the important goal of spurring innovations that improve and save lives. He saw AdvaMed and the medtech industry we represent as partners in addressing patients’ needs, and we hope his leadership serves as a model for all future directors of the CDRH. His willingness to work with us to support next-generation innovation, and his strategic vision for the Center have been critical to allowing medtech innovators to do what they do best. We wish him all the best in the next phase of his life and career.”
“We look forward to working with Dr. Michelle Tarver as Interim Director to ensure the transition to new leadership is smooth, and that Dr. Shuren’s vision of a true public-private partnership remains the hallmark of the Center he helped establish as the gold standard for medical device safety worldwide.”
