(Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has named former Dartmouth Medical School Dean Stephen Spielberg to the newly created position of deputy commissioner for medical products and tobacco, according to an internal letter sent to FDA employees that was obtained by Reuters.
The move is part FDA's goal of overhauling its management structure to better regulate an increasingly complex medical industry. The agency has also initiated a search to fill the newly created chief operating officer position.
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg promoted Deborah Autor, currently a director of the agency's compliance office, to the job of deputy commissioner for global regulatory operations and policy, according to the letter.
"The new organizational alignments more accurately reflect the agency's responsibilities, subject matter expertise and mandates in an ever more complex world, where products and services do not fit into a single category," Hamburg wrote in the letter.
