Excellence in Leadership

With decades of experience in medical education, WAUSM’s leadership team knows what effective measures to look for to best predict student success in medical school.

Made up of experienced educators and proven administrators who have dedicated their lives to the furthering of the medical profession, our leadership team’s commitment to medical education is second to none.

Their collective impact on current practice has been enormous. This is evidenced by the fact that – over the course of their careers leading US and international medical schools – thousands of their students have earned their MDs and gone on to launch successful careers across every specialty of medicine.
