UPDATED: College of Medicine Associate Dean Nehad El-Sawi resigns, coursework approved by president's council

(01/28/11 4:55pm)

Nehad El-Sawi, associate dean of medical education and faculty development for the College of Medicine, resigned from her position Tuesday. El-Sawi's position was announced by Provost E. Gary Shapiro on May 10, and was slated to have a yearly salary of $200,000. "Until a new associate dean of medical education is hired, her responsibilities will be shared by others in the College of Medicine," Shapiro said in an internal e-mail sent Friday morning. The last step in the creation of the College of Medicine was approved Jan. 21 with the plans of academic coursework. The Michigan University President’s Council, consisting of presidents from all 15 state universities, approved the MD degree. Ernest Yoder, dean of the College of Medicine, said he does not anticipate major changes to the program in the future. The structure of the program received recommendation from The Association of American Medical Colleges. “Changes to the program will fit within the framework we have created,” Yoder said. “We continue the curriculum design and development work.” The first proposed bulletin and course list for the Doctor of Medicine program were approved by the Academic Senate back in mid-November. At the meeting, Yoder shared his interest in making the program similar to that of Boston University, with “equal parts art and science” rather than admitting students with only straight-science backgrounds. Other business Bill Kanine and Patricia Maryland, the two newest members of the board trustees, were appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder last Friday as well. Kanine and Maryland are filling positions left open from Stephanie Comai and Gail Torreano, whose terms expired Dec. 31, 2010. “I was just approved January 18 so I don’t have much involvement yet,” Kanine said. “I will most likely be assigned to more committees beginning mid-February.” Kanine is a certified public accountant and prior to being appointed as a board member, he served as a member of the College of Medicine’s steering committee. He received his B.S. and B.A. degrees from Central Michigan University. Maryland is president and CEO of St. John Providence Health System. She was unable to be reached for comment before publication. “All faculty and staff will contribute to the program,” Yoder said.
