About Dr Manasseh
Chris Manasseh is the Associate Chief Medical Officer of Inpatient Operations at Boston Medical Center and a Clinical Associate Professor of Family Medicine at the Boston University School of Medicine. He joined the department of Family Medicine in 2001 and is currently the Vice Chair for Inpatient and Hospital Services. He developed a series of lectures appropriate to the care of hospitalized patients, designing and implementing the inpatient medicine curriculum for the family medicine residency at Boston University Medical Center. He did this by creating teaching templates, presentations for the top 20 most common inpatient diagnoses and initiating the ongoing weekly teaching conferences. Chris was the first medical director for the expanded 28 bed observation unit at the hospital which has an interdisciplinary team managing all patients on the unit. Chris developed the inpatient flow Medical Director Program at Boston Medical Center that is helping with patient throughput and positively impacting length of stay. He also helped launch the hospital at home program at Boston Medical Center, where patients receive 24/7 inpatient care by a multidisciplinary team in the comfort of their home. Chris and his wife of nearly 30 years Priya have 5 kids and live in Boston’s metrowest area.
