The good news is that Rob Califf has been confirmed as FDA Commissioner. Dr. Califf is the right man in the right place at the right time. Better late than never.
At a crucial moment in American (indeed global) healthcare, he brings a vision for FDA as an innovation accelerator, steward of post-market safety, guarantor of quality, and first among equals when it comes to leading the agency’s intramural partnerships on a plethora of issues with its many constituencies. Perhaps most importantly, is Califf's role as agenda-setter and cheer leader at an agency comprised of highly educated and dedicated (and career) public servants.
The past is prologue.
