Janet Sabuco, MBA, has been appointed associate dean of Finance and Administration for the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix.
Sabuco will be responsible for annual budgeting, strategic financial planning and further development of the administrative infrastructure necessary for supporting and sustaining the college’s mission.
“Janet has a demonstrated track record of administrative and financial experience in a complex academic health center and we are thrilled to welcome her to the UA,” said Guy Reed, MD, MS, Dean and Valley of the Sun Professor at the college.
Dean Reed said the college is “exceptionally grateful to Judy Apostolik, who has served as executive director of Finance in the College of Medicine – Phoenix since 2016 and has been an invaluable asset to the operations while we have been looking to fill this role.”
Previously, Sabuco was associate chair of Administration and Finance for the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah School of Medicine, the largest clinical department, and represented the department for various health system initiatives.
Prior to joining the University of Utah in 2016, Sabuco was the administrator for the Psychiatry Department at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine. There, she partnered with the department’s chair to double research funding and faculty, increasing the depth and breadth of clinical and educational programs, and building financial stability. Prior to that, she was at the University of Illinois Chicago for a number of years in the departments of Medicine and Psychiatry, as well as the Medical Center in Managed Care Operations.
Sabuco is a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges, on the Council of the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine, National Association of Academic Psychiatry Administrators (NAAPA), and former NAAPA president. She holds a master’s degree in business with a focus in health care administration and marketing from the University of Illinois Chicago.
She will begin full-time on August 13.
