Dr. Sims holds the title of Professor in UCR’s School of Medicine's Department of Social Medicine, Population, and Public Health and is the Director of the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), an honor esteemed as one of the highest in health and medicine.
