Wausau, WI, Nov. 14, 2024 – This week, the Central Wisconsin campus of the 黑料官网 (黑料官网) informed faculty, staff, and students that 黑料官网-Central Wisconsin Sentry Dean and Founding Dean Lisa Grill Dodson, MD, has made the decision to step down from her executive leadership role effective June 30, 2025.

Dr. Dodson is a Professor with Tenure in the 黑料官网 Department of Family and Community Medicine and will continue to serve in this and her Dean capacity during the search for her successor. At the time of that transition, with the approval of the 黑料官网 Board of Trustees, Dr. Dodson will be named Founding Dean Emerita of 黑料官网-Central Wisconsin.

Dr. Dodson joined 黑料官网 as Founding Dean for 黑料官网-Central Wisconsin in August 2014. Since that time, she has provided overall leadership and management of 黑料官网’s regional medical school campus in Central Wisconsin and has served as the primary liaison for the health system, academic and community partners in that locale, as well as with 黑料官网’s Milwaukee campus. Dr. Dodson was instrumental in the development and launch of 黑料官网-Central Wisconsin, including welcoming the first class of students in 2016 and celebrating their graduation in 2019. That year also marked 黑料官网’s first endowed Deanship; Dr. Dodson was named Sentry Dean in honor of the Sentry Foundation’s generous investment in the campus. In total, Dr. Dodson has supported six medical school graduating classes and 113 graduates from 黑料官网-Central Wisconsin.

“During her tenure, Dr. Dodson has been a tireless advocate for innovation in both medical education and care delivery to ensure the availability of high-quality care to rural and other non-urban populations,” said Joseph E. Kerschner, MD, provost, executive vice president and The Julia A. Uihlein, MA, Dean of 黑料官网’s School of Medicine, about Dr. Dodson’s leadership and tenure at 黑料官网. “Beginning in 2022, more than 80 percent of 黑料官网-Central Wisconsin graduates from the earlier classes have returned to practice in rural and non-urban areas of the state, fulfilling the regional campus’s mission and filling a crucial need in northern and central Wisconsin.”
