Dr. Marketa Wills M’99 WG’06 and Dr. Kendrick Gwynn M’11 discussed Dr. Wills path to Penn Med, McKinsey, and ultimately to her current role as the Chief Medical Officer for Johns Hopkins Healthcare
Dr. Wills earned her medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and completed her residency in adult psychiatry at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital program, serving as chief resident in her last year. She graduated with a master’s in business administration from the Wharton School of Business. Dr. Wills worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company. She served as the director of physician affairs at the TMC campus of Memorial Hermann Hospital System where she oversaw the Medical Staff Office and physician recruitment, contracting and onboarding.

With her expertise in driving value-based, member-centric care in managed health care programs across broad organizations, her deep understanding of the clinical aspects of the health care delivery system, her experience with government-sponsored health care, and her sharp analytical, financial and business acumen, Dr. Wills is perfectly poised to lead Johns Hopkins HealthCare to new heights.
