About James M. Blum

I joined the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics because of its core mission and values embracing innovation, safety, and excellence. It is through my administrative roles, clinical practice, and research that I seek to contribute to change medicine and change lives. Being a patient is complex and filled with risk from deciding with your physician a course of treatment to managing side effects. Finding ways to improve this dynamic is a key focus. It is my underlying passion for innovation and the use of technology to improve the care we deliver that brings me to work everyday.
