Robert L. Phillips, MD, is executive director of the Center for Professionalism and Value in Health Care, which aims to create space in which patients, health professionals, payers, and policy makers can work to renegotiate the social contract. The center seeks to define value across the health care spectrum, how to measure it, how to improve it, and how to engage and develop leaders. Phillips currently cochairs the Consensus Committee on Implementing High-Quality Primary Care for the Nationals Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine.

Prior to being named executive director of the center in 2018, Phillips was the ABFM vice president for research and policy. From 2004 until 2012, he was the director of the Robert Graham Center, a health policy research center in Washington, DC.
